F5BI-DM-300055 - The F5 BIG-IP appliance must prohibit the use of cached authenticators after eight hours or less.
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authentication implementations can be configured to use cached authenticators.If cached authentication information is out-of-date, the validity of the authentication information may be questionable.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 must 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.
NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.
Solution
From the BIG-IP GUI:1. System.
2. Users.
3. Authentication.
4. If ClientCert LDAP is used as the remote authentication type, configure "OCSP Response Max Age" for an organization-defined time period.
Note: The OCSP Override option must be set to "on" to view the OCSP Response Max Age value.
