The Sentry providing mobile device authentication intermediary services must use multifactor authentication for network access to non-privileged accounts.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>To ensure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, non-privileged users must utilize multifactor authentication to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system. Multifactor authentication uses two or more factors to achieve authentication. Factors include: 1. Something you know (e.g., password/PIN) 2. Something you have (e.g., cryptographic, identification device, token) 3. Something you are (e.g., biometric) Non-privileged accounts are not authorized access to the network element regardless of access method. Network access is any access to an application by a user (or process acting on behalf of a user) where said access is obtained through a network connection. Authenticating with a PKI credential and entering the associated PIN is an example of multifactor authentication. This requirement applies to ALGs that provide user authentication intermediary services.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

Remediation - Manual Procedure
If user authentication intermediary services are provided, configure the Sentry to use multifactor authentication for network access to non-privileged accounts.
1. In the MobileIron Core Portal, select Services >> Sentry.
2. Click the "Edit" icon for the Standalone Sentry entry.
3. In the "Device Authentication Configuration" section, select an option appropriate for this implementation.
4. Depending on the option selected, follow the instructions in one of the following sections to complete the configuration:
