Description
Some authentication implementations can be configured to use cached authenticators.
If cached authentication information is out-of-date, the validity of the authentication information may be questionable.
The organization-defined time period should be established for each device depending on the nature of the device; for example, a device with just a few administrators in a facility with spotty network connectivity may merit a longer caching time period than a device with many administrators.
ℹ️ Check
View the SSP for the required value.
Navigate to Administration >> System >> Admin Access >> Authentication >> Password Policy.
Verify the SSP required value matches the "Password cached for" field.
If the Cisco ISE does not prohibit the use of cached authenticators after an organization-defined time period, this is a finding.
✔️ Fix
Navigate to Administration >> System >> Admin Access >> Authentication >> Password Policy.
Set the "Password cached for" field to the organization-defined value available in the SSP.
