OL 9 must have the SSSD package installed.

Using an authentication device, such as a common access card (CAC) or token that is separate from the information system, ensures that even if the information system is compromised, that compromise will not affect credentials stored on the authentication device.

Multifactor solutions that require devices separate from information systems gaining access include, for example, hardware tokens providing time-based or challenge-response authenticators and smart cards such as the U.S. Government Personal Identity Verification card and the DoW CAC.

A privileged account is defined as an information system account with authorizations of a privileged user.

Remote access is access to DoW nonpublic information systems by an authorized user (or an information system) communicating through an external, nonorganization-controlled network. Remote access methods include, for example, dial-up, broadband, and wireless.

This requirement only applies to components where this is specific to the function of the device or has the concept of an organizational user (e.g., VPN, proxy capability). This does not apply to authentication for the purpose of configuring the device itself (management).

Verify that OL 9 has the SSSD package installed with the following command:

$ dnf list --installed sssd Installed Packages sssd.x86_64 2.9.5-4.0.1.el9_5.1 @ol9_baseos_latest

If the SSSD package is not installed, this is a finding.

Install the SSSD package with the following command:

$ sudo dnf install -y sssd
