High Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Centralized management of authentication settings increases the security of remote and nonlocal access methods. This control is particularly important protection against the insider threat. With robust centralized management, audit records for administrator account access to the organization's network devices can be more readily analyzed for trends and anomalies. The alternative method of defining administrator accounts on each device exposes the device configuration to remote access authentication attacks and system administrators with multiple authenticators for each network device. Use VMware Identity Manager or Workspace ONE configured to meet DoD requirements for authentication, authorization, and access control. This does not require an additional license. Configuration details of this product are not in scope beyond this requirement. Ensure the VMware Workspace ONE Access/VMware Identity Manager acts as a broker to different identity stores and providers, including Active Directory and SAML. Two supplements are included with the VMware NSX-T STIG package that provide guidance from the vendor for configuration of VMware Identity Manager and VMware Workspace ONE Access.
