MEDIUM Mixed M30: OAuth Configuration P3
Overview
Configures OpenShift OAuth server token policies to enforce session timeouts and token expiration. Reduces the risk of session hijacking by limiting how long OAuth tokens remain valid.
Profile: NIST 800-53 Moderate (ocp4-moderate)
Status: Partial — oauth-or-oauthclient-inactivity-timeout passes with the MachineConfig. oauth-or-oauthclient-token-maxage is a platform-level OAuth configuration that requires an OAuth CR patch, not a MachineConfig.
Compliance Checks
| Check | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|
oauth-or-oauthclient-inactivity-timeout |
Set OAuth client inactivity timeout | PASS |
oauth-or-oauthclient-token-maxage |
Set OAuth access token maximum age | FAIL (platform config) |
Remediation for token-maxage
This check requires patching the OAuth cluster resource directly:
oc patch oauth cluster --type merge -p '{"spec":{"tokenConfig":{"accessTokenMaxAgeSeconds":28800}}}'
This is a platform-level change, not deployable via MachineConfig.
Verification
oc get oauth cluster -o jsonpath='{.spec.tokenConfig}'
