Fix Recommendation

Configure the system to use a valid "server_ca.pem" file.

Check Contents

Verify the location of the "server_ca.pem" file:

# grep -i "trustedcas" /etc/security/pmfa/pam_pmfa.conf | grep -v '#'

TRUSTEDCAS = /<path_to_file>/server_ca.pem

Verify that the configured "server_ca.pem" file exists in the defined location:

# ls -la /<path_to_file>/server_ca.pem

If the file does not exist, this is a finding.
