Description of problem:

When installing RHEL 7.3 with the DVD and having selected the PCI profile, its not possible to log into the vm through the vmware console with any account, it just gives the error "invalid login". 

Note that SSH does work and checking /var/log/secure, there is a missing pam module: /usr/lib64/security/pam_pkcs11.so

In order to fix the issue, install the RPM to get the module or comment this line in /etc/pam.d/system-auth

auth        [success=done authinfo_unavail=ignore ignore=ignore default=die] pam_pkcs11.so nodebug

To:

#auth        [success=done authinfo_unavail=ignore ignore=ignore default=die] pam_pkcs11.so nodebug


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

7.3 DVD Installer

How reproducible:

Easy to reproduce, re-run installer with same PCI profile. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL7.3 from DVD with PCI policy
2. Try to login...

Actual results:

Cannot log in with PCI policy unless using SSH

Expected results:

Policy should work fine as in RHEL7.1 and 7.2

Additional info:

Observation: On RHEL7.3, remediation that sets up the pam_pkcs11.so requirement also contains command to install package pam_pkcs11. So it's kind of strange.

Calvin, which DVD variant has been used for installation?
