Title
The BIG-IP appliance must automatically audit account-disabling actions. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Account management, as a whole, ensures access to the network device is being controlled in a secure manner by granting access to only authorized personnel. Auditing account disabling actions will support account management procedures. When device management accounts are disabled, user or service accessibility may be affected. Auditing also ensures authorized active accounts remain enabled and available for use when required.

If account disabling is not automatically audited, this is a finding.
