The DataPower Gateway must prohibit the use of cached authenticators after an organization-defined time period.

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If cached authentication information is out-of-date, the validity of the authentication information may be questionable.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.

Go to Administration >> Access >> RBM Settings. Click on the Authentication tab. Verify cache mode is set to absolute and set timeout value is set. If it is not, this is a finding.

Go to Administration >> Access >> RBM Settings. Click on the Authentication tab. Set cache mode to absolute and set timeout value as needed.
