Ensure SSH LoginGraceTime is configured
Medium Severity
The
LoginGraceTime
parameter to the SSH server specifies the time allowed for successful authentication to the SSH server. The longer the Grace period is the more open unauthenticated connections can exist. Like other session controls in this session the Grace Period should be limited to appropriate limits to ensure the service is available for needed access.
