Description
Shared accounts (accounts where two or more people log in with the same user identification) do not provide identification and authentication. There is no way to provide for non-repudiation or individual accountability.

ℹ️ Check
Obtain a list of Shared/Application/Default/Utility accounts from the ISSO/ISSM. Shared/Application/Default/Utility accounts can have direct login disabled by setting the "rlogin" parameter to "false" in the user’s stanza of the "/etc/security/user" file. From the command prompt, run the following command to check if shared account has "rlogin=true": # lsuser -a rlogin [shared_account] <shared_account> rlogin=true If a shared account is configured for "rlogin=true", this is a finding.
