Host must lock an account after a specified number of failed login attempts

中レベル 1自動vmware

説明

The security control involves restricting account access following a specified number of failed login attempts, acting as a deterrent against brute-force attacks. This control is applicable for SSH and vSphere Web Services SDK access, though not for the Direct Console Interface (DCUI) and the ESXi Shell. The audit reads Security.AccountLockFailures with esxcli and requires 5. Runs in the ESXi Shell (busybox sh) as root.

case "$v" in ''|*[!0-9-]*) echo '/Security/AccountLockFailures: no integer value'; exit 1 ;; esac
if [ "$v" -eq 5 ]; then echo compliant; else echo "/Security/AccountLockFailures = $v (expected 5)"; fi

To set the maximum failed login attempts correctly, perform the following steps: 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.AccountLockFailures in the filter. 5. Set the value for this parameter to 5.
