The `authselect` has been added into RHEL 9 bootable containers in https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-76811 but there is no default authselect profile selected and that is causing the remediation of the rule `enable_authselect` to fail: ``` [root]# authselect current No existing configuration detected. [root]# authselect select sssd No existing configuration detected. [error] File [/etc/pam.d/system-auth] exists but it needs to be overwritten! [error] File [/etc/pam.d/password-auth] exists but it needs to be overwritten! [error] File [/etc/pam.d/fingerprint-auth] exists but it needs to be overwritten! [error] File [/etc/pam.d/smartcard-auth] exists but it needs to be overwritten! [error] File [/etc/pam.d/postlogin] exists but it needs to be overwritten! [error] File [/etc/nsswitch.conf] exists but it needs to be overwritten! [error] File that needs to be overwritten was found [error] Refusing to activate profile unless this file is removed or overwrite is requested. Some unexpected changes to the configuration were detected. Use --force parameter if you want to overwrite these changes. authselect is not used but files from the 'pam' package have been altered, so the authselect configuration won't be forced. ``` Therefore, we update the remediation to run `authselect select` command with the `--force` parameter when running on a bootable container which resolves this issue.

I have built a RHEL 9 bootable container image hardened with the STIG profile using content built from this PR branch. I have deployed a VM from the built bootable container image using podman-bootc and I run a verification oscap scan. The rules that previously failed are passed in the report.
