Fix Recommendation

Configure the application to notify the system administrator and the ISSO when application accounts are created.

Check Contents

Review the application and system documentation.

Interview the application administrator and determine if the application is configured to utilize a centralized user management system like Active Directory for user management or if the application manages user accounts within the application.

If the application is configured to use an enterprise-based application user management capability that is STIG compliant, the requirement is not applicable.

Ensure the application is configured to notify system administrators when new accounts are created by identifying system administrators who will be notified when new accounts are created, creating a test account and checking with system administrator to verify notification was received.

If system administrators and ISSOs are not notified when accounts are created, this is a finding.
