TMA-ESXI9-3.13

Host must unlock accounts after a specified timeout period

MediaNivel 1Automatizadavmware

Descripción

Ensuring that user accounts on the ESXi host are automatically unlocked after a specified period contributes to a balance between security and operational usability. This mechanism reactivates idle accounts promptly while mitigating potential unauthorized access risks. The audit reads Security.AccountUnlockTime with esxcli and requires 900 seconds. Runs in the ESXi Shell (busybox sh) as root.

Cómo se verifica

Método de auditoría: Comando de shell

out=$(esxcli system settings advanced list -o /Security/AccountUnlockTime 2>/dev/null) || exit 1
v=$(printf '%s\n' "$out" | awk '$1=="Int" && $2=="Value:" {print $3; exit}')
case "$v" in ''|*[!0-9-]*) echo '/Security/AccountUnlockTime: no integer value'; exit 1 ;; esac
if [ "$v" -eq 900 ]; then echo compliant; else echo "/Security/AccountUnlockTime = $v (expected 900)"; fi
Salida esperada
compliant

To set the account lockout to 15 minutes, perform the following: 1. From the vSphere Web Client, select the host. 2. Click Configure then expand System. 3. Select Advanced System Settings then click Edit. 4. Enter Security.AccountUnlockTime in the filter. 5. Set the value for this parameter to 900.
