The system _MUST_ be configured such that, when the su command is used, multifactor authentication is enforced.
All users _MUST_ go through multifactor authentication to prevent unauthenticated access and potential compromise to the system.
NOTE: /etc/pam.d/su will be automatically modified to its original state following any update or major upgrade to the operating system.
Setting the default value to "yes" will mess up services like SSH, if smart card authentication is not set up in the machine
Fix:
Add the following lines in /etc/pam.d/su file:
auth sufficient pam_smartcard.so
auth required pam_rootok.so
Parameter:
[yes/no]
Technical Mechanism:
Add the following lines in /etc/pam.d/su file:
auth sufficient pam_smartcard.so
auth required pam_rootok.so
