Check Text (C-234858r958828_chk)

If SSSD is not being used on the operating system, this is Not Applicable. Verify that the SUSE operating system PAM prohibits the use of cached off line authentications after one day. Check that cached off line authentications cannot be used after one day with the following command: > 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", this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-38009r618844_fix)

Configure the SUSE operating system PAM to prohibit the use of cached authentications after one day. Add or change the following line in "/etc/sssd/sssd.conf" just below the line "[pam]": offline_credentials_expiration = 1
