Since per downstream bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1357019
we can't use 'authconfig' binary direct call, because it will discard the changes as performed and required by other remediation scripts also touching
/etc/pam.d/system-auth{,-ac}
filesTherefore return to previous version updating necessary files directly via 'sed' tool (rather than using 'authconfig' binary)
Note: While on the rule also update XCCDF link providing further info how to setup smartcard auth (since the current one returns HTTP 404 Not Found)
Testing result:
The change has been tested on RHEL-7 local system and seems to be working properly (AFAICT).
Please review.
Thank you, Jan.
