MarkLogic Server must generate audit records when concurrent logons/connections by the same user from different workstations occur.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>For completeness of forensic analysis, it is necessary to track who logs on to the DBMS. Concurrent connections by the same user from multiple workstations may be valid uses of the system, such connections may be due to improper circumvention of the requirement to use the CAC for authentication, may indicate unauthorized account sharing, or may be because an account has been compromised. (If the fact of multiple, concurrent logons by a given user can be reliably reconstructed from the log entries for other events (logons/connections; voluntary and involuntary disconnections), then it is not mandatory to create additional log entries specifically for this.)</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
Configure MarkLogic audit settings to generate an audit record each time a user (or other principal) who is already connected to the DBMS logs on or connects to the DBMS from a different workstation.
Perform the fix from the MarkLogic Server Admin Interface with a user that holds administrative-level privileges.
