A session lock is a temporary network device or administrator-initiated action taken when the administrator stops work but does not log out of the network device. Rather than relying on the user to manually lock their management session prior to vacating the vicinity, network devices need to be able to identify when a management session has idled and take action to initiate the session lock. Once invoked, the session lock must remain in place until the administrator reauthenticates. No other system activity aside from reauthentication must unlock the management session. Note that CCI-001133 requires that administrative network sessions be disconnected after 10 minutes of idle time. So this requirement may only apply to local administrative sessions.
Checks: C-55642r814036_chk

Type "group --info | grep inactivity" and review the timeout value. If it is greater than 15 minutes, this is a finding.

Network devices not protected with strong password schemes provide the opportunity for anyone to crack the password and gain access to the device, which can result in loss of availability, confidentiality, or integrity of network traffic. Many default vendor passwords are well known or are easily guessed; therefore, not removing them prior to deploying the network device into production provides an opportunity for a malicious user to gain unauthorized access to the device.
Checks: C-55645r814045_chk

Attempt to login using SSH to a configured array using username "admin" and password "admin". If the login is successful, this is a finding.

Fix: F-55595r814046_fix

On an unconfigured array, the setup command requires the "--password <new password>" argument to be supplied. To fix an already configured array: after logging into the array as the "admin" user, type "useradmin --passwd", and enter the old and new passwords.

Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password length is one factor of several that helps to determine strength and how long it takes to crack a password. The shorter the password, the lower the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised. Use of more characters in a password helps to exponentially increase the time and/or resources required to compromise the password.

If the application allows the user to consecutively reuse extensive portions of passwords, this increases the chances of password compromise by increasing the window of opportunity for attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. The number of changed characters refers to the number of changes required with respect to the total number of positions in the current password. In other words, characters may be the same within the two passwords; however, the positions of the like characters must be different. Multifactor authentication (MFA) is required for all administrative and user accounts on network devices, except for an account of last resort and (where applicable) a root account. Passwords should only be used when MFA using PKI is not available, and for the account of last resort and root account.

Terminating an idle session within a short time period reduces the window of opportunity for unauthorized personnel to take control of a management session enabled on the console or console port that has been left unattended. In addition, quickly terminating an idle session will also free up resources committed by the managed network element. Terminating network connections associated with communications sessions includes, for example, de-allocating associated TCP/IP address/port pairs at the operating system level, or de-allocating networking assignments at the application level if multiple application sessions are using a single, operating system-level network connection. This does not mean that the device terminates all sessions or network access; it only ends the inactive session and releases the resources associated with that session.

Centralized management of authentication settings increases the security of remote and nonlocal access methods. This control is particularly important protection against the insider threat. With robust centralized management, audit records for administrator account access to the organization's network devices can be more readily analyzed for trends and anomalies. The alternative method of defining administrator accounts on each device exposes the device configuration to remote access authentication attacks and system administrators with multiple authenticators for each network device.
Checks: C-55653r814069_chk

Run the command "userauth --list". If the output is "No domains configured", this is a finding.

Fix: F-55603r814070_fix

To configure AD, run the following commands: "userauth --join <domain> --domain_user administrator" and enter the domain administrator password to join <domain>. "userauth --list" will show the domain and its status. To create a mapping between an AD group and one of the four device RBAC roles, run the following command: "userauth --add_group <domain_group> --domain <domain> --role {administrator|poweruser|operator|guest}" This command allows any member of <domain_group> in <domain> AD domain to log in to the device with one of the selected roles. To display the group to role mappings, run "userauth --list_group --domain <domain>".

Alerts are essential to let the system administrators and security personnel know immediately of issues which may impact the system or users. If these alerts are also sent to the syslog, this information is used to detect weaknesses in security that enable the network IA team to find and address these weaknesses before breaches can occur. Reviewing these logs, whether before or after a security breach, are important in showing whether someone is an internal employee or an outside threat. Alerts are identifiers about specific actions that occur on a group of arrays. There are several ways to meet this requirement. The Nimble can be configured for forward alerts from groups to a secure Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server. The alert may also be sent to the syslog server and the syslog configured to send the alert to the appropriate personnel.
Checks: C-55655r814075_chk

Log in to https://infosight.hpe.com using HPE Passport credentials. Click on the Main Menu icon in the upper left corner. Select Resources &gt;&gt; Alletra 6000, Nimble Storage &gt;&gt; Documentation. Determine current array OS version using User Interface (UI). Refer to Nimble "GUI Administration Guide" Version: NOS 5.2.x, section "Hardware and Software Updates", subsection "Find the Array OS Version" to determine the version of the OS that is currently in use by the array. Determine available array OS update versions using InfoSight. *Any version of Nimble OS software greater than the "current array OS version" might qualify to be an update to the "current array OS version". The option exists to bypass several releases to come up to the newest available release depending upon requirements. *Call HPE Support with any questions about choosing an appropriate release or the process to upgrade a release. - Follow above instructions to log in to HPE InfoSight. - Choose a "Software Version" from the left panel equal to or greater than the current array OS version. For example, 5.2.x would be equal to the current version and 5.3.x would be greater than the current version. - Open the Release Notes document for each version that is greater than the current array OS version. For example, "NimbleOS Release Notes Version NOS 5.2.1.700" is greater than NOS 5.2.1.600. - Review the entire release notes document. - Determine if this is a release should be used for an upgrade. - Confirm that the "From Version", for example 5.2.1.600, can be used to go to the version for which the release notes are applicable; for example 5.2.1.700.

Device management includes the ability to control the number of administrators and management sessions that manage a device. Limiting the number of allowed administrators and sessions per administrator based on account type, role, or access type is helpful in limiting risks related to DoS attacks. This requirement addresses concurrent sessions for administrative accounts and does not address concurrent sessions by a single administrator via multiple administrative accounts. The maximum number of concurrent sessions should be defined based upon mission needs and the operational environment for each system. At a minimum, limits must be set for SSH, HTTPS, account of last resort, and root account sessions. The product contains the ability to limit the number of total sessions, but not by individual user or user type.

The loss of connectivity to a particular authoritative time source will result in the loss of time synchronization (free-run mode) and increasingly inaccurate time stamps on audit events and other functions. Multiple time sources provide redundancy by including a secondary source. Time synchronization is usually a hierarchy; clients synchronize time to a local source while that source synchronizes its time to a more accurate source. The network device must utilize an authoritative time server and/or be configured to use redundant authoritative time sources. This requirement is related to the comparison done in CCI-001891. DoD-approved solutions consist of a combination of a primary and secondary time source using a combination or multiple instances of the following: a time server designated for the appropriate DoD network (NIPRNet/SIPRNet); United States Naval Observatory (USNO) time servers; and/or the Global Positioning System (GPS). The secondary time source must be located in a different geographic region than the primary time source.
