<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Folks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve got a machine running Scap Workbench on another remote/networked machine. Both are CentOS 7.5. I set up Workbench to SSH to the remote box as root (for now root ssh login is enabled on both machines), using CentOS 7 content. I selected
DISA STIG for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Within the displayed rules there are two I need to ignore. I need X Windows and cannot use a smart card (or any multifactor) in the system I want to remediate.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So the “Remove the X Windows Package Group” & “Enable Smart Card Login” need to be tailored out somehow so remediation won’t implement those controls.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(I’m assuming the “Enable the GNOME3 Login Smartcard Authentication”, “Install Smart Card Packages For Multifactor Authentication” & “Configure Smart Card Certificate Status Checking” rules can be left in place if “Enable Smart Card Login”
isn’t set up.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I cannot see an easy way in Workbench to just tell it to ignore a selected rule.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What do I need to do to keep remediation from implementing these rules?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p>
