Discussion

The use of PIV credentials facilitates standardization and reduces the risk of unauthorized access.

Satisfies: SRG-OS-000375-GPOS-00160, SRG-OS-000376-GPOS-00161

Check Content

Verify that RHEL 9 has the opensc package installed with the following command:

$ dnf list --installed opensc

Example output:

opensc.x86_64          0.22.0-2.el9

If the "opensc" package is not installed, this is a finding.
