Check content

To check if the system is configured to automatically log out after a period of time, run the following command: system_profiler SPConfigurationProfileDataType | grep "com.apple.autologout.AutoLogOutDelay" | awk '{ print $3 }' | sed 's/;//' If the result is not defined (nothing returned) or not "0", this is a finding.

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.
