The NSX-T Manager must prohibit the use of cached authenticators after an organization-defined time period.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-251784 TNDM-3X-000076 SV-251784r851741_rule Medium
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 If cached authentication information is out-of-date, the validity of the authentication information may be questionable.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.
