Fix Recommendation

Configure RHEL 10 to prevent a user from overriding the disabling of the graphical user smart card removal action.

Add the following line to "/etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/00-security-settings-lock" to prevent user override of the smart card removal action:

/org/gnome/settings-daemon/peripherals/smartcard/removal-action

Update the dconf system databases:

$ sudo dconf update

Check Contents

Note: This requirement assumes the use of the RHEL 10 default graphical user interface, the GNOME desktop environment. If the system does not have any graphical user interface installed, this requirement is not applicable.

Verify RHEL 10 disables ability of the user to override the smart card removal action setting with the following command:

$ gsettings writable org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.smartcard removal-action
false

If "removal-action" is writable and the result is "true", this is a finding.
