Check Text (C-259418r958400_chk)

Verify the macOS system is configured to prevent Apple Watch from terminating a session lock with the following command: /usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS $.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.applicationaccess')\ .objectForKey('allowAutoUnlock').js EOS If the result is not "false", this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-63065r940875_fix)
