Description
Some authentication implementations can be configured to use cached authenticators. If cached authentication information is out-of-date, the validity of the authentication information may be questionable. The organization-defined time period should be established for each device depending on the nature of the device; for example, a device with just a few administrators in a facility with spotty network connectivity may merit a longer caching time period than a device with many administrators.
ℹ️ Check
Review the OS10 Switch configuration to determine if it prohibits the use of cached authenticators after an organization-defined time period. Verify the rest authentication token validity setting is configured. If no entry is displayed, the default is 120 minutes. OS10# show running-configuration | grep "rest authentication token validity" rest authentication token validity 60 If cached authenticators are used after an organization-defined time period, this is a finding.
✔️ Fix
Configure the OS10 Switch to prohibit the use of cached authenticators after an organization-defined time period: OS10(config)# rest authentication token validity {minutes}
