Configure SSSD to Expire Offline Credentials

An XCCDF Rule

Description

SSSD should be configured to expire offline credentials after 1 day. To configure SSSD to expire offline credentials, set offline_credentials_expiration to 1 under the [pam] section in /etc/sssd/sssd.conf. For example:

[pam]
offline_credentials_expiration = 1

Rationale

If cached authentication information is out-of-date, the validity of the authentication information may be questionable.
