Description:

This update for ssg-apply fixes the following issues:

This package contains a systemd service which can be run on boot which detects and/or mitigates hardening issues from the scap-security-guide, aka ComplianceAsCode.

The behaviour can be configured in the config file /etc/ssg-apply/default.conf

Options:

  • "profile" ... Which SCAP XCCDF profile to use. The default is "stig" for the SUSE supported DISA stig profile.

Other profiles from the scap-security-guide can also be selected, like "cis", "hipaa", "pci-dss" and others.

  • "remediate" Whether to have the service immediately fix the issues.

The default is "off", if you want to enable automatic remediation, use "on".

  • "tailoring-file" ... default is "" (none).

A tailoring file is a XML configuration file that can be used to select/deselect rules to check / remediate.

The service can be enabled with:

  • systemctl enable ssg-apply.service
