Ensure the pkcs11-provider package is installed

pkg-pkcs11-provider-present · RHEL ≥ 10 · 1 impl

Description

The pkcs11-provider package must be installed to enable PKCS#11-based cryptographic tokens (smart cards) for authentication.

Rationale

Smart-card (CAC/PIV) authentication relies on the PKCS#11 provider; without it, multifactor authentication via hardware tokens cannot function.
