nipalk required key not available rhel 8.5

[mhz_ghz]

rhel 8.5 in a secure environment with signed  kernel modules.  How do I get the key that is being requested or disable the requirement for this specific kernel module?

I do not find an alternative signed module.  I used the standard down load and I get this:

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nipalk': Required key not available

found my own answer:

https://docs.tenable.com/nnm/Content/DisableSecureBootforHighPerformanceMode.htm

/usr/bin/mokutil --sb-state

/usr/bin/mokutil --disable-validation

see the article

this disabled the key requirement. 

really strange password challenge.  it looped several times asking for individual characters from the password that you supply after the required reboot to disable the encryption requirement in the kernel...
