Rule version RHEL-10-200610 · STIG v1 · 2026-09-17

Discussion

The "pcsc-lite" package must be installed if it is to be available for multifactor authentication using smart cards.

Check

Note: If the system administrator demonstrates the use of an approved alternate multifactor authentication method, this requirement is not applicable.

Verify RHEL 10 has the "pcsc-lite" package installed with the following command:

$ sudo dnf list --installed pcsc-lite Installed Packages pcsc-lite.x86_64 2.2.3-2.el10 @anaconda

If the "pcsc-lite" package is not installed, this is a finding.

Fix

Configure RHEL 10 to have the "pcsc-lite" package installed with the following command:

$ sudo dnf -y install pcsc-lite
