The HYCU virtual appliance must be configured with only one local account to be used as the account of last resort in the event the authentication server is unavailable.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
Authentication for administrative (privileged level) access to the device is required at all times. An account can be created on the device's local database for use when the authentication server is down or connectivity between the device and the authentication server is not operable. This account is referred to as the account of last resort since it is intended to be used as a last resort and when immediate administrative access is absolutely necessary.
