Fix Recommendation

If user authentication intermediary services are provided, configure the BIG-IP Core as follows:

Configure a policy in the BIG-IP APM module to use multifactor authentication for network access to non-privileged accounts.

Apply APM policy to the applicable Virtual Server(s) in BIG-IP LTM module to use multifactor authentication for network access to non-privileged accounts when granting access to virtual servers.

Check Contents

If the BIG-IP Core does not provide user authentication intermediary services for virtual servers, this is not applicable.

When user authentication intermediary services, verify the BIG-IP Core is configured as follows:

Verify Virtual Server(s) in the BIG-IP LTM module are configured with an APM policy to use multifactor authentication for network access to non-privileged accounts.

Navigate to the BIG-IP System manager >> Local Traffic >> Virtual Servers >> Virtual Servers List tab.

Select Virtual Servers(s) from the list to verify.

Verify under "Access Policy" section, that "Access Policy" has been set to use an APM access policy that uses multifactor authentication for network access to non-privileged accounts when granting access to virtual servers.

If the BIG-IP Core provides user authentication intermediary services and does not use multifactor authentication for network access to non-privileged accounts, this is a finding.
