Jenkins Building Content at least 3 times
by Gabe Alford 01 Feb '16

01 Feb '16

Hello, Using the Jenkins build target, I noticed that the build process goes through building the SCAP content at least 3 times. It builds it once for `all`, once for 'dist`, and finally once for `validate`. I wonder if this is by design? It would be nice to consolidate it down to building it once for a faster Jenkins run. Maybe the Jenkins target could be the following: jenkins: clean all instead of: jenkins: clean all dist validate This would greatly reduce Jenkins tests and the amount of time those tests are run.

Move upstream "Collateral & References" section to official open-scap.org?
by Shawn Wells 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

On the new OpenSCAP webpage [0] we have a "Resources" section [1]. On the upstream SSG GitHub page, we have the "Collateral and References" page [2]. What would everyone think of merging the content into open-scap.org? This would get us a bit more visibility as open-scap.org is the public-facing/primary site.

Linux environment variables and OVAL filepath.
by S, Gautam 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

Hello folks, I am trying to write an OVAL check to ensure that an application configuration file say $APP_HOME/a.conf is owned by the correct user_id and group_id. I understand that the OVAL interpreter does not resolve enviroment variables if they are directly used in the filepath element. Is there some way I can accomplish this using the OVAL environmentvariable58_object? I am trying to create a local_variable using the "value" of the object concatenated with the file name. I don't seem to be getting right. Is there a simpler way of performing this task? I would assume this is not a very uncommon use case. Thanks in advance. Regards, Gautam.

Adding Custom "ident" Sources in shorthand XCCDFs
by Oliver Skiebe 12 Jan '16

12 Jan '16

Hi all, as briefly mentioned already in yesterdays’ Contributor Workshop, our customer wants to enrich the SSG content by adding references to their internal security requirements. I wonder how I could add my own Security Identifiers, because when trying to simply add e.g. a „customerident“ attribute into the shorthand XCCDF as per below, my build fails with: [...] xmllint --format --output output/shorthand.xml output/shorthand.xml xsltproc --stringparam ssg_version "0.1.27" -o output/xccdf-unlinked-unresolved.xml transforms/shorthand2xccdf.xslt output/shorthand.xml oscap xccdf resolve -o output/xccdf-unlinked-empty-groups.xml output/xccdf-unlinked-unresolved.xml File 'output/xccdf-unlinked-unresolved.xml' line 153: Element '{http://checklists.nist.gov/xccdf/1.1}ident': The attribute 'system' is required but missing.

Understanding the Pieces
by joescap＠mm.st 12 Jan '16

12 Jan '16

I'm trying to understand all the pieces of SSG and how it relates to the content on the National Checklist Program Repository, specifically for Redhat 6. In RHEL6, I did a yum install scap-security-guide to get the SSG from the Redhat repos. I took a look at file:///usr/share/doc/scap-security-guide-0.1.21/rhel6-guide.html and I can see all the settings, but does this include everything that is in the SCAP content found on the NIST National Checklist Program Repository? Are there any kickstarts available to help configure systems? Just confused on how this all fits together.

Re: Adding Custom "ident" Sources in shorthand XCCDFs
by Wei N Chen (CENSUS/OIS FED) 12 Jan '16

12 Jan '16

Looks like the customization you made cannot be validated against the XCCDF schema. You would have to look at the schema to see how the <ident> element is defined. Keep in mind that any customization you make will have to be within the defined construct of <ident>.
