1.393 RHEL-10-701220

Information

RHEL 10 must enable certificate-based smart card authentication.

GROUP ID: V-281324RULE ID: SV-281324r1167122

Without the use of multifactor authentication, the ease of access to privileged functions is greatly increased. Multifactor authentication requires using two or more factors to achieve authentication. A privileged account is defined as an information system account with authorizations of a privileged user. The DOD Common Access Card (CAC) with DOD-approved public key infrastructure (PKI) is an example of multifactor authentication.

Solution

Configure RHEL 10 to enable certificate-based smart card authentication.
