If remote login through SSH is enabled, smartcard authentication _MUST_ be enforced for user login.
All users _MUST_ go through multifactor authentication to prevent unauthenticated access and potential compromise to the system.
Fix:
Add the following lines in /etc/ssh/sshd_config file:
PasswordAuthentication no
ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
And run the following command:
/bin/launchctl kickstart -k system/com.openssh.sshd
Parameter:
[no/yes]
Technical Mechanism:
Add the following lines in /etc/ssh/sshd_config file:
PasswordAuthentication no
ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
And run the following command:
/bin/launchctl kickstart -k system/com.openssh.sshd
