Vulnerability discussion

Limiting logon hours can help protect data by allowing access only during specified times. This setting controls whether users are forced to log off when their allowed logon hours expire. If logon hours are set for users, this must be enforced.

Check content

Verify the effective setting in Local Group Policy Editor. Run "gpedit.msc". Navigate to Local Computer Policy >> Computer Configuration >> Windows Settings >> Security Settings >> Local Policies >> Security Options. If the value for "Network security: Force logoff when logon hours expire" is not set to "Enabled", this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the policy value for Computer Configuration >> Windows Settings >> Security Settings >> Local Policies >> Security Options >> "Network security: Force logoff when logon hours expire" to "Enabled".

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
