Vulnerability Discussion
Without mapping the certificate used to authenticate to the user account, the ability to determine the identity of the individual user or group will not be available for forensic analysis.
Check
Verify that "use_mappers" is set to "pwent" in "/etc/pam_pkcs11/pam_pkcs11.conf" file:
$ grep use_mappers /etc/pam_pkcs11/pam_pkcs11.conf
use_mappers = pwent
If "use_mappers" is not found or the list does not contain "pwent" this is a finding.
Fix
Set "use_mappers=pwent" in "/etc/pam_pkcs11/pam_pkcs11.conf" or, if there is already a comma-separated list of mappers, add it to the list, separated by comma, and before the null mapper.
If the system is missing an "/etc/pam_pkcs11/" directory and an "/etc/pam_pkcs11/pam_pkcs11.conf", find an example to copy into place and modify accordingly at "/usr/share/doc/libpam-pkcs11/examples/pam_pkcs11.conf.example.gz".
