Examine the application documentation or interview the application representative to identify how the application users are managed.

Interview the application administrator and determine if the application is configured to utilize a centralized user management system such as Active Directory for user management or if the application manages user accounts within the application.

If the application is configured to use an enterprise-based application user management capability that is STIG compliant, the requirement is not applicable.

Identify the location of the audit logs and review the end of the logs.

Access the user account management functionality.

Create an application test account and then review the log to ensure a log record that documents the event is created.

Modify the test account and then review the log to ensure a log record that documents the event is created.

Disable the test account and then review the log to ensure a log record that documents the event is created.

Terminate/remove the test account and then review the log to ensure a log record that documents the event is created.
