Fix Recommendation

Configure the BIG-IP appliance to use a properly configured authentication server to send a notification message to the administrators and ISSO when accounts are modified.

Check Contents

Verify the BIG-IP appliance is configured to use a properly configured authentication server that generates alerts that can be forwarded to the administrators and ISSO when accounts are modified.

Navigate to the BIG-IP System manager >> System >> Users >> Authentication.

Verify that "User Directory" is set to an approved authentication server type that generates alerts that can be forwarded to the administrators and ISSO when accounts are modified.

If the BIG-IP appliance is not configured to use an authentication server that would perform this function, this is a finding.
