Discussion

A comprehensive account management process that includes automation helps to ensure the accounts designated as requiring attention are consistently and promptly addressed. If an attacker compromises an account, the entire MDM server infrastructure is at risk. Providing automated support functions for the management of accounts will ensure only active accounts will be granted access with the proper authorization levels. These objectives are best achieved by configuring the MDM server to leverage an enterprise authentication mechanism (e.g., Microsoft Active Directory Kerberos). SFR ID: FIA

Check Content

Verify SDS EMM is leveraging the MDM platform administrator accounts and groups for user (system administrator) identification and CAC authentication.  

Use one of the following methods:

Method 1:
- Attempt to log on to the SDS EMM console using a CAC.  
- Verify CAC log on was successful.

Method 2:
- Log in to the SDS EMM console.
- Go to Settings >> Server >> Configuration.
- Click "CAC Sign-In".
- Verify CAC Sign-In has been set up.

If SDS EMM is not leveraging the MDM platform administrator accounts and groups for user (system administrator) identification and CAC authentication, this is a finding.
