Fix Recommendation

When adding user access to the database, either during initial creation or at a later time, admins must establish a unique username and password for all users and the default user account must be disabled.

In web UI:
1. Log in to Redis Enterprise as an admin user.
2. Select the Database tab.
3. Select the Configuration subtab.
4. Select "Edit".
5. Ensure that "Default database access" is unchecked.

Check Contents

Redis Enterprise databases can be configured and set to deny by default posture. Access is granted when the database is configured and can be granted by admins at a later time. Verify in the database configuration that the default user is disabled. This would force non-organizational users to authenticate with a username and password similar to any organizationally defined user.

In web UI:
1. Log in to Redis Enterprise as an admin user.
2. Select the Database tab.
3. Select the Configuration subtab.
4. Confirm "Default database access" reads "nopass" and is "Inactive".

If default database access is active and there is no password set, this is a finding.
