Abstract
Described is a system for maintaining dual-party authentication requirements for data retention compliance in systems with remote access components. When administering a data retention policy, an operating system component may require a dual-party authentication mechanism to prevent data deletion, while a different authentication mechanism may control access to the remote access controller. Access to the remote access controller by a single privileged user, however, may enable overriding or compromising the retention lock compliance implemented by the operating system. Accordingly, the system may tie the dual-party authentication requirement to the remote access controller authentication mechanism.
