OS10-NDM-000760 - The Dell OS10 Switch must prohibit the use of cached authenticators after an organization-defined time period.

Information

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If cached authentication information is out-of-date, the validity of the authentication information may be questionable.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

Solution

Configure the OS10 Switch to prohibit the use of cached authenticators after an organization-defined time period:

OS10(config)# rest authentication token validity {minutes}
