Information

The use of PIV credentials facilitates standardization and reduces the risk of unauthorized access.

The DoD has mandated the use of the Common Access Card (CAC) to support identity management and personal authentication for systems covered under Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12, as well as making the CAC a primary component of layered protection for national security systems.

Solution

Configure RHEL 8 to accept PIV credentials.

Install the 'opensc' package using the following command:

$ sudo yum install opensc
