Fix Recommendation

If user access control intermediary services are provided, configure the BIG-IP Core as follows:

Configure a policy in the BIG-IP APM module to automatically terminate a user session when organization-defined conditions or trigger events occur that require a session disconnect.

Apply APM policy to the applicable Virtual Server(s) in the BIG-IP LTM module to automatically terminate a user session for a user connected to virtual servers when organization-defined conditions or trigger events occur that require a session disconnect.

Check Contents

If the BIG-IP Core does not provide user access control intermediary services for virtual servers, this is not applicable.

When user access control intermediary services are provided, verify the BIG-IP Core is configured as follows:

Verify Virtual Server(s) in the BIG-IP LTM module are configured with an APM policy to automatically terminate user sessions for users connected to virtual servers when organization-defined conditions or trigger events occur that require a session disconnect.

Navigate to the BIG-IP System manager >> Local Traffic >> Virtual Servers >> Virtual Servers List tab.

Select Virtual Servers(s) from the list to verify.

Verify under "Access Policy" section that "Access Policy" has been set to use an APM access policy to automatically terminate a user session when organization-defined conditions or trigger events occur that require a session disconnect.

If the BIG-IP Core is not configured to automatically terminate a user session when organization-defined conditions or trigger events occur that require a session disconnect, this is a finding.
