Fix Recommendation

Configure the HP FlexFabric Switch to use an authentication server:

[HP] radius scheme <name of scheme>
[HP-radius-jitc] primary authentication x.x.x.x key simple xxxxxx
[HP-radius-jitc] user-name-format without-domain

[HP] domain <domain name>
[HP-isp-jitc] authentication login radius-scheme <name of scheme> local
[HP-isp-jitc] authorization login radius-scheme <name of scheme> local
[HP-isp-jitc] accounting login radius-scheme <name of scheme>c local
[HP] domain default enable <domain name>

Check Contents

Review the HP FlexFabric Switch configuration to determine if it is authenticating user logon via an authentication server. Local authentication must only be used as a last resort. Example configuration would look similar to the following:

authentication login hwtacacs-scheme <name of scheme> local
or
authentication login radius-scheme <name of scheme> local

If the HP FlexFabric Switch does not have an authentication server configured as the primary authentication method, this is a finding.
