The Sentry providing mobile device authentication intermediary services must implement multifactor authentication for remote access to non-privileged accounts such that one of the factors is provided by a device separate from the system gaining access.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>For remote access to non-privileged accounts, the purpose of requiring a device that is separate from the information system gaining access for one of the factors during multifactor authentication is to reduce the likelihood of compromising authentication credentials stored on the system. Multifactor solutions that require devices separate from information systems gaining access include, for example, hardware tokens providing time-based or challenge-response authenticators and smart cards such as the U.S. Government Personal Identity Verification card and the DoD common access card. A privileged account is defined as an information system account with authorizations of a privileged user. Remote access is access to DoD-nonpublic information systems by an authorized user (or an information system) communicating through an external, non-organization-controlled network. Remote access methods include, for example, dial-up, broadband, and wireless. An example of compliance with this requirement is the use of a one-time password token and PIN coupled with a password; or the use of a CAC/PIV card and PIN coupled with a password.</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 implement multifactor authentication for remote access to non-privileged accounts such that one of the factors is provided by a device separate from the system gaining access.
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 section to complete the configuration:
