Check Text (C-261399r996617_chk)

If NSS is used by SLEM 5, verify it prohibits the use of cached authentications after one day with the following command: Note: If NSS is not used on the operating system, this is not applicable. > sudo grep -i "memcache_timeout" /etc/sssd/sssd.conf memcache_timeout = 86400 If "memcache_timeout" has a value greater than "86400", the line is commented out, or the line is missing, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-65036r996063_fix)

Configure NSS, if used by SLEM 5, 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 "[nss]": memcache_timeout = 86400
