Description
Without the use of multifactor authentication, the ease of access to privileged functions is greatly increased. Multifactor authentication requires using two or more factors to achieve authentication. A privileged account is defined as an information system account with authorizations of a privileged user. The DOD common access card (CAC) with DOD-approved PKI is an example of multifactor authentication.

ℹ️ 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 "openssl-pkcs11" package installed with the following command:
$ sudo dnf list --installed pkcs11-provider
Installed Packages
pkcs11-provider.x86_64 1.0-3.el10_0 @rhel-10-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms
If the "openssl-pkcs11" package is not installed, this is a finding.
✔️ Fix
Configure RHEL 10 to have the "openssl-pkcs11" package installed with the following command:
$ sudo dnf -y install pkcs11-provider
