Descripción
### The required feature described as a wish
**Description:** The "Tyranny of Default" principle recommends enabling the global setting `mandate.user.2fa` from the start. Security can always be downgraded later, but most users will simply accept whatever defaults they are given. If `mandate.user.2fa` is not set, 2FA remains ineffective even for those users who have already enrolled.
**Affected Components:** Management UI
**Impact:** Without mandatory enforcement, users may choose not to enroll in 2FA. In environments with regulatory or compliance requirements (e.g., PCI-DSS, SOC 2), the absence of enforced MFA may constitute a compliance gap.
**Steps to Reproduce:**
- Log in to the CloudStack Management UI as a Root Admin.
- Navigate to Configuration > Global Settings.
- Search for `mandate.user.2fa` and confirm the value is False.
- Create a new user account at any permission level.
- Log in as that user and confirm that access is granted without any 2FA prompt.
**Recommended Remediation:** Set `mandate.user.2fa` to True by default. Users will be naturally guided to set up 2FA at first login without friction, and the first impression of the ACS project will reflect a stronger security posture.
Guía de contribución
Línea de trabajo
Comienza en Global Settings de la CloudStack Management UI y localiza la definición de `mandate.user.2fa`. Comprueba cómo se aplica su valor predeterminado y cómo se verifica la obligatoriedad en el primer inicio de sesión; se considera terminado cuando una instalación nueva habilita la configuración de forma predeterminada y se solicita 2FA a un usuario recién creado.
