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If cached authentication information is out-of-date, the validity of the authentication information may be questionable.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

From an NSX-T Manager shell, run the following command(s):

>  get service http | find Session

Expected result: Session timeout: 600

If the output does not match the expected result, this is a finding.

From an NSX-T Manager shell, run the following command(s):

>  get cli-timeout

Expected result: 600 seconds

If the output does not match the expected result, this is a finding.

From an NSX-T Manager shell, run the following command(s):

> set service http session-timeout 600
> set cli-timeout 600
