Check Contents

Verify the operating system has the packages required for multifactor authentication installed with the following commands:

$ sudo yum list installed openssl-pkcs11

openssl-pkcs11.x86_64 0.4.8-2.el8 @anaconda

If the "openssl-pkcs11" package is not installed, ask the administrator to indicate what type of multifactor authentication is being utilized and what packages are installed to support it. If there is no evidence of multifactor authentication being used, this is a finding.
