Check Text (C-261400r996619_chk)

Verify that SLEM 5 PAM prohibits the use of cached off line authentications after one day with the following command: Note: If SSSD is not being used on the operating system, this is not applicable. > sudo grep "offline_credentials_expiration" /etc/sssd/sssd.conf offline_credentials_expiration = 1 If "offline_credentials_expiration" is not set to a value of "1", the line is commented out, or the line is missing, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-65037r996066_fix)

Configure SLEM 5 PAM to prohibit the use of cached authentications after one day. Add or modify the following line in the "/etc/sssd/sssd.conf" file, below the line "[pam]": offline_credentials_expiration = 1
