Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • While using TPM2 with LUKS is it necessary to manually enable clevis-luks-askpass.path service?

  • The upstream documentation for clevis mentions that above service is required:
    clevis-luks-askpass.path

    However, RHEL 8.7 release notes mentions that users do not need to enable this service:

    Snip from above release notes:

    Changes in the system configuration and the clevis-luks-systemd subpackage
    enable the Clevis encryption client to unlock also LUKS-encrypted volumes
    that mount late in the boot process *without* using the systemctl enable    <---
    clevis-luks-askpass.path command during the deployment process.
