RHEL 10 must have the "pkcs11-provider" package installed.

Rule version RHEL-10-200730 · STIG v1 · 2026-09-17

Discussion

Without the use of multifactor authentication (MFA), the ease of access to privileged functions is greatly increased. MFA 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 DoW common access card (CAC) with DoW-approved PKI is an example of MFA.

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 "pkcs11-provider" 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 "pkcs11-provider" package is not installed, this is a finding.

Fix

Configure RHEL 10 to have the "pkcs11-provider" package installed with the following command:

$ sudo dnf -y install pkcs11-provider
