JUSX-DM-000017 - For local accounts created on the device, the Juniper SRX Services Gateway must automatically generate log records for account disabling events.

Information

When device management accounts are disabled, user or service accessibility may be affected. Auditing also ensures authorized, active accounts remain enabled and available for use when required. Without this audit trail, personnel without the proper authorization may gain access to critical network nodes.

An AAA server is required for account management in accordance with CCI-000370. Only a single account of last resort is permitted on the local device. However, since it is still possible for administrators to create local accounts either maliciously or to support mission needs, the SRX must be configured to log account management events.

To log local account management events, ensure at least one external syslog server is configured to log facility any or facility change-log, and severity info or severity any.

Solution

Configure at least one external syslog host is configured to log facility change-log or any, and severity info or any.

[edit system syslog]
set host <syslog server address> any <info | any>

-OR-

[edit]
set host <syslog server address> change-log <info | any>
