Ax-OS must use multifactor authentication for network access to nonprivileged accounts.

To ensure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, nonprivileged users must utilize multifactor authentication to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system.

Multifactor authentication uses two or more factors to achieve authentication.

Factors include: (i) Something you know (e.g., password/PIN); (ii) Something you have (e.g., cryptographic identification device, token); or (iii) Something you are (e.g., biometric).

A nonprivileged account is any information system account with authorizations of a nonprivileged user.

Network access is any access to an application by a user (or process acting on behalf of a user) that is obtained through a network connection.

Applications that integrate with the DOD Active Directory and use the DOD Common Access Card (CAC) are examples of compliant multifactor authentication solutions.
