The F5 BIG-IP appliance must prohibit the use of cached authenticators after eight hours or less.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
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 If cached authentication information is out-of-date, the validity of the authentication information may be questionable.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.
