Discussion

The use of authentication servers or other centralized management servers for providing centralized authentication services is required for network MQ Appliance device management. Maintaining local administrator accounts for daily usage on each MQ Appliance network device without centralized management is not scalable or feasible. Without centralized management, it is likely that credentials for some MQ Appliance network devices will be forgotten, leading to delays in administration, which itself leads to delays in remediating production problems and in addressing compromises in a timely fashion.

If MQ is not set to LDAP authentication, this is a finding.
