Accounts Authorized Local Users on the Operating System

An XCCDF Value

Description

List the user accounts that are authorized locally on the operating system. This list includes both users requried by the operating system and by the installed applications. Depending on the Operating System distribution, version, software groups and applications, the user list is different and can be customized with scap-workbench. OVAL regular expression is used for the user list. The list starts with '^' and ends with '$' so that it matches exactly the username, not any string that includes the username. Users are separated with '|'. For example, three users: bin, oracle and sapadm are allowed, then the list is ^(bin|oracle|sapadm)$. The user root is the only user that is hard coded in OVAL that is always allowed on the operating system.
