Appendix 1 - Assessing the campus authentication environment
Does your campus have a centralized authentication service?
Do you sync passwords among several authentication systems?
(eg Kerberos, NT, Netware)
Do you check passwords for non-crackability?
Do users have to change their passwords regularly?
If/when you observe compromised passwords (eg from a cracker's sniffer
log) do you invalidate the user's account? What procedure does a user
follow to get their account reinstated?
Do you have policy about the use of the central ID/authentication system by
applications, eg, central admin systems must use these IDs?
