Authentication for administrative (privileged level) access to the device is required at all times. An account can be created on the device's local database for use when the authentication server is down or connectivity between the device and the authentication server is not operable. This account is referred to as the account of last resort since it is intended to be used as a last resort and when immediate administrative access is absolutely necessary.
Log in to HYCU UI and ensure that admin user is the only user configured with HYCU Authentication type. If any other user except for built-in admin is configured with HYCU Authentication type, this is a finding. Log in to HYCU console, run the command "cat /etc/passwd" within the HYCU console and ensure no nondefault user account configured.
