CAC logon error - When user attempts to ssh into a server why is he getting prompted for a password?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We are using single sign computer access cards for logging remotely to RHEL 5 & RHEL 6 servers. I have a new user who is using an uberthur 128 v5.5 cac card. When he attempts to ssh into a server he is getting prompted for a password. The really strange thing is he can use his cac to log into a redhat 6 workstation.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6
