Title

The system must be configured to force users to log off when their allowed logon hours expire. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Limiting logon hours can help protect data by only allowing access during specified times. This setting controls whether or not users are forced to log off when their allowed logon hours expire. If logon hours are set for users, then this must be enforced.
