Title

The application must have the ability to retain a session lock remaining in effect until the user re-authenticates using established identification and authentication procedures. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

A session lock is a temporary action taken when a user stops work and moves away from the immediate physical vicinity of the information system but does not want to log out because of the temporary nature of the absence. The session lock is implemented at the point where session activity can be determined. This is typically determined and performed at the operating system-level, but in some instances it may be at the application-level. Regardless of where the session lock is determined and implemented, once invoked the session lock shall remain in place until the user re-authenticates. No other system or application activity aside from re-authentication shall unlock the system. Rationale for non-applicability: This control is required in the MOS SRG. If the mobile application accesses a remote enterprise application, the remote application can require re-authentication as needed.
