Support for OpenSCAP tailoring in Red Hat Satellite 6

Environment

• Red Hat Satellite 6

Issue

• Does Red Hat Satellite 6 support specification of the OpenSCAP --tailoring-file option? Even after the tailoring file in scap-workbench, there doesn't seem to be a way to instruct Red Hat Satellite 6 that the systems in question should be scanned against this modified benchmark (this tailoring file).

Resolution

• With the release of Red Hat Satellite 6.3 introduces the Tailoring Files feature concept. Tailoring Files allow existing OpenSCAP policies to be tailored, or customized, without forking or rewriting the policy. For more information refer to the following links
