Description
Account management, as a whole, ensures access to the network device is being controlled in a secure manner by granting access to only authorized personnel. Auditing account removal actions will support account management procedures. When device management accounts are terminated, user or service accessibility may be affected. Auditing also ensures authorized active accounts remain enabled and available for use when required.

ℹ️ Check
Review the router configuration to determine if it audits the deletion of accounts. This requirement can be met by ensuring that configuration changes are logged as shown in the following example: system { syslog { file LOG_FILE { change-log info; } } } Note: The parameter “any” can be in place of “change-log” as this will log everything. Also, a syslog server can be configured in addition to or in lieu of logging to a file as shown in the example below. system { syslog { host 10.1.58.2 { any info; } file LOG_FILE { change-log info; } console { any error; } } } If the deletion of accounts is not audited, this is a finding.
