graphical - Graphical login security controls

Although most Linux servers only have text-based interfaces, graphical environments are required for certain applications. Security controls must be applied to these graphical environments to prevent unauthorized access.

Overview

The STIG requirements for graphical interfaces are focused on ensuring proper authentication for new sessions and enforcing re-authentication after idle periods.

These controls will be skipped on systems without a graphical login interface.
