accounts - User account security controls
|
|
=========================================
|
|
|
|
Security controls for user accounts on Linux systems are a crucial barrier to
|
|
prevent unauthorized access.
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Many of the STIG requirements for user account controls are already included in
|
|
many Linux distributions or they can be applied without disruptions. However,
|
|
some requirements can cause problems with user authentication without
|
|
coordination.
|
|
|
|
Deployers should consider an authentication solution that uses centralized
|
|
authentication, such as LDAP, Active Directory, or Kerberos, for the best
|
|
security posture.
