Chapter 9. Deploying compliance policies

Procedure

1. On your Satellite Server, examine the data stream you use in your compliance policy to find out which missing resource you must download:

   # oscap info /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel8-ds.xml | grep "WARNING"
   WARNING: Datastream component 'scap_org.open-scap_cref_security-data-oval-com.redhat.rhsa-RHEL8.xml.bz2'
   points out to the remote 'https://access.redhat.com/security/data/oval/com.redhat.rhsa-RHEL8.xml.bz2'.
   Use '--fetch-remote-resources' option to download it.
   WARNING: Skipping 'https://access.redhat.com/security/data/oval/com.redhat.rhsa-RHEL8.xml.bz2' file
   which is referenced from datastream

2. Examine the name of the local file that is referenced by the data stream:

   # oscap info /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel8-ds.xml
   ...
   		Referenced check files:
   			ssg-rhel8-oval.xml
   				system: http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/oval-definitions-5
   			ssg-rhel8-ocil.xml
   				system: http://scap.nist.gov/schema/ocil/2
   			security-data-oval-com.redhat.rhsa-RHEL8.xml.bz2
   				system: http://oval.mitre.org/XMLSchema/oval-definitions-5
   ...

3. On an online machine, download the missing resource:

   # curl -o security-data-oval-com.redhat.rhsa-RHEL8.xml.bz2 https://www.redhat.com/security/data/oval/com.redhat.rhsa-RHEL8.xml.bz2

   Important

   Ensure that the name of the downloaded file matches the name the data stream references.

4. Add the file as new custom file type content into your Satellite Server. For more information, see Managing custom file type content in Managing content.

   Note the URL on which your repository is published, such as http://satellite.example.com/pulp/content/My_Organization_Label/Library/custom/My_Product_Label/My_Repo_Label/.

5. Schedule a remote job to upload the file to the home directory of root on your host. For example, use the Run Command - Script Default job template and enter the following command:

   # curl -o /root/security-data-oval-com.redhat.rhsa-RHEL8.xml.bz2 http://satellite.example.com/pulp/content/My_Organization_Label/Library/custom/My_Product_Label/My_Repo_Label/security-data-oval-com.redhat.rhsa-RHEL8.xml.bz2

   For more information about running remote jobs, see Executing a Remote Job in Managing hosts.
