Verify Amazon Linux 2023 is configured so that the System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) prohibits the use of cached authentications after one day. Note: Cached authentication settings should be configured even if smart card authentication is not used on the system. Check that SSSD allows cached authentications with the following command: $ sudo grep -ir cache_credentials /etc/sssd/sssd.conf /etc/sssd/conf.d/ /etc/sssd/sssd.conf:cache_credentials = true If "cache_credentials" is set to "false" or missing from the configuration file, this is not a finding and no further checks are required. If "cache_credentials" is set to "true", check that SSSD prohibits the use of cached authentications after one day with the following command: $ sudo grep -ir offline_credentials_expiration /etc/sssd/sssd.conf /etc/sssd/conf.d/ /etc/sssd/sssd.conf:offline_credentials_expiration = 1 If "offline_credentials_expiration" is not set to a value of "1", this is a finding.
