AAA Services must not be configured with shared accounts.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>Shared accounts configured for use on a network device do not allow for accountability or repudiation of individuals using them. If shared accounts are not changed when someone leaves the group, that person could possibly gain control of the network device. Having shared accounts does not allow for proper auditing of who is accessing or changing the network. For this reason, shared accounts are not permitted.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
