Note: This requirement is Not Applicable for specific biometric authentication factors included in the product's Common Criteria evaluation. The biometric factor can be used to authenticate the user to unlock the mobile device. Unapproved/evaluated biometric mechanisms could allow unauthorized users to have access to DOD sensitive data if compromised. By not permitting the use of unapproved/evaluated biometric authentication mechanisms, this risk is mitigated. SFR ID: FMT_SMF.1.1 #22, FIA_UAU.5.1

Review the configuration to determine if the Samsung Android devices are disabling Face Recognition.

This validation procedure is performed on both the management tool and the Samsung Android device.

On the management tool in the device restrictions, verify "Face recognition" is set to "Disable".

On the Samsung Android device: 
1. Open Settings >> Lock screen and AOD >> Screen lock and biometrics.
2. Enter current password.
3. Open "Face recognition" and, if required, register a face.
4. Verify the "Face unlock" option is disabled and cannot be enabled.

If on the management tool "Face recognition" is not set to "Disable", or on the Samsung Android device "Face unlock" can be enabled, this is a finding.
