LDAP users on IBM Spectrum Virtualize 8.5 which are configured to require multifactor authentication can still authenticate to the CIM interface using only username and password. This does not affect local users with MFA configured or remote users authenticating via single sign-on. IBM X-Force ID: 247033.

Weakness

The product uses an authentication algorithm that uses a single factor (e.g., a password) in a security context that should require more than one factor.
