RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
Smart card authentication with ocsp validation requires document edits in Rhel 6 deployment guide. Reference bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=583109.

Comment 9 Deon Ballard 2010-08-10 22:42:59 UTC 
The bug fix for comment from the description is in step 7 here:
http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Managing_Smart_Cards/enabling-smart-card-login.html

I also moved the PAM and Kerberos sections from the security guide here as separate chapters:
 * http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Managing_Smart_Cards/Pluggable_Authentication_Modules.html

 * http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Managing_Smart_Cards/Using_Kerberos.html

I merged the original SSO overview into my existing intro:
http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Managing_Smart_Cards/Introduction.html

And I added the Kerberos-Firefox setup to the other SSO configuration procedures I already had for smart cards:

# Open the pam_pkcs11.conf file.

vim /etc/pam_pkcs11/pam_pkcs11.conf

# Change every cert_policy line so that it contains the ocsp_on option.

cert_policy =ca, ocsp_on, signature;

And a note on the space between cert_policy and =ca
