AADC-NM-000047
(in version v1 r1)
Title
The A10 Networks ADC must not have any shared accounts (other than the emergency administration account). (Cat II impact)
Discussion
To assure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, organizational administrators must be uniquely identified and authenticated for all network management accesses to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system. This means that there must be no shared accounts. The only exception is for the emergency administration account. Note: The number of emergency administration accounts is restricted to at least one, but no more than operationally required as determined by the ISSO.
