Fix Recommendation

Configure the operating system to require individuals to be authenticated with a multifactor authenticator.

Enable smartcard logons with the following commands:

# authconfig --enablesmartcard --smartcardaction=0 --update
# authconfig --enablerequiresmartcard -update

Modify the "/etc/pam_pkcs11/pkcs11_eventmgr.conf" file to uncomment the following line:

#/usr/X11R6/bin/xscreensaver-command -lock

Modify the "/etc/pam_pkcs11/pam_pkcs11.conf" file to use the cackey module if required.

Check Contents

Verify the operating system requires multifactor authentication to uniquely identify organizational users using multifactor authentication.

Check to see if smartcard authentication is enforced on the system:

# authconfig --test | grep "pam_pkcs11 is enabled"

If no results are returned, this is a finding.

# authconfig --test | grep "smartcard removal action"

If "smartcard removal action" is blank, this is a finding.

# authconfig --test | grep "smartcard module"

If "smartcard module" is blank, this is a finding.
