CHANGE - Requirement: R-81147 (VNFRQTS-823)
The VNF MUST support strong authentication, also known as multifactor authentication, on all protected interfaces exposed by the VNF for use by human users. Strong authentication uses at least two of the three different types of authentication factors in order to prove the claimed identity of a user.
The VNF MUST, if not integrated with the Operator’s Identity and Access Management system, support multifactor authentication on all protected interfaces exposed by the VNF for use by human users.
CHANGE - Requirement: R-79107 (VNFRQTS-824)
The VNF MUST, if not integrated with the Operator’s Identity and Access Management system, support the ability to disable the userID after a configurable number of consecutive unsuccessful authentication attempts using the same userID.
The VNF MUST, if not integrated with the Operator’s Identity and Access Management system, support the ability to lock out the userID after a configurable number of consecutive unsuccessful authentication attempts using the same userID. The locking mechanism must be reversible by an administrator and should be reversible after a configurable time period.
