Description Ales Musil 2021-11-29 09:00:27 UTC

Description of problem:
There is a KCS for running oscap in "offline" mode [0]. But doing those steps 
from KCS still result in skipping the XML file.

[0] https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5185891

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openscap-1.3.5-10.el8.x86_64
openscap-scanner-1.3.5-10.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. curl -L -o security-data-oval-com.redhat.rhsa-RHEL8.xml https://www.redhat.com/security/data/oval/com.redhat.rhsa-RHEL8.xml
2. oscap xccdf eval --profile xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_stig --rule xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_configure_bind_crypto_policy /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel8-ds.xml 2>&1 | grep "Skipping"

Actual results:
WARNING: Skipping ./security-data-oval-com.redhat.rhsa-RHEL8.xml file which is referenced from XCCDF content

Expected results:
Should use the file that is available locally.

Hi, starting from the version openscap-1.3.5-8.el8 you should use the --local-files option to point to the local file. See the section 12 "Using external or remote resources" of the OpenSCAP User manual. 

For example:
mkdir scap-files
wget -O scap-files/security-data-oval-com.redhat.rhsa-RHEL8.xml https://www.redhat.com/security/data/oval/com.redhat.rhsa-RHEL8.xml
oscap xccdf eval --local-files ~/scap-files --profile xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_stig /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel8-ds.xml

Comment 2 Ales Musil 2021-11-29 10:26:30 UTC

Hi, 
can the KCS be updated to reflect that? 

Thank you.

Comment 3 Jan Černý 2021-11-29 10:36:25 UTC

Great idea! I will try to get that article updated. I will keep you posted.

Comment 4 Jan Černý 2021-12-02 15:26:31 UTC

The KCS https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5185891 now reflects the rhel-8.6 change and the https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1970529 contains a documentation text.
