| Description |
|---|
| A session lock is a temporary network device or administrator-initiated action taken when the administrator stops work but does not log out of the network device. Once invoked, the session lock shall remain in place until the administrator re-authenticates. No other system activity aside from re-authentication shall unlock the management session. |
| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| Review the network device configuration to determine if the device retains session lock until the administrator re-authenticates. This may be verified by configuration check, demonstration, or other validation test results. If the device does not require re-authentication before releasing the session lock, this is a finding. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| Configure the network device to retain session lock until the administrator re-authenticates. |
