OpenShift must disable root and terminate network connections.
Direct login as the "root" user must be disabled to prevent unrestricted access and control over the entire system. Terminating an idle session within a short time reduces the window of opportuni...Rule High Severity -

OpenShift must use multifactor authentication for network access to accounts.
Without the use of multifactor authentication, the ease of access to privileged and nonprivileged functions is greatly increased. Multifactor authentication requires using two or more factors to a...Rule Medium Severity -

Group -
OpenShift must use FIPS-validated SHA-1 or higher hash function to provide replay-resistant authentication mechanisms for network access to privileged accounts.
A replay attack may enable an unauthorized user to gain access to the application. Authentication sessions between the authenticator and the application validating the user credentials must not be ...Rule Medium Severity -

OpenShift must terminate all network connections associated with a communications session at the end of the session, or as follows: for in-band management sessions (privileged sessions), the session must be terminated after 10 minutes of inactivity.
In OpenShift, the "session token inactivity timeout" on OAuth clients is set to ensure security and protect against potential unauthorized access to user sessions. OAuth is an open standard for sec...Rule Medium Severity -
