Assessment Title

Rule Text

Graphical desktop environments provided by the system must automatically lock after 15 minutes of inactivity.

Description

Discussion Text

Allowing access to a graphical environment when the user is not attending the system can allow unauthorized users access to the system.

How this relates to the STIG checklist: STIG vs SCAP benchmark.

SCC Automation Reference

The reconstructed evaluation script behind this rule's OVAL check(s) — every module a compound check combines, with this rule's own concrete values and DISA's SCC tool's real per-module mechanism curated from static teardown of SCC releases.

#   - textfilecontent54_object (textfilecontent54_test) -- Each user's .xscreensaver must have a timeout of 15 minutes.: no extractor for field "subexpression"

Remediation

The root role is required.

Edit the global screensaver configuration file to ensure 15 minute screen lock.

# pfedit /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XScreenSaver

Find the timeout control lines and change them to read:

*timeout: 0:15:00
*lockTimeout:0:00:05
*lock: True

For each user on the system, edit their local $HOME/.xscreensaver file and change the timeout values.

# pfedit $HOME/.xscreensaver

Find the timeout control lines and change them to read:

timeout: 0:15:00
lockTimeout:0:00:05
lock: True
