Description Jan Lieskovsky 2014-01-09 13:13:23 UTC
Description of problem:

This is possibly on your TODO list already, but for any case. Oscap-anaconda-addon currently supports HTTP and HTTPS protocols for remote SCAP content retrieval.

It would be nice to have / support more protocols like NFS, FTP, possibly even Samba exports.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
oscap-anaconda-addon-0.3-1.fc20

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Fedora image install from compose equipped with oscap-anaconda-addon
2. Click SECURITY section
3. Try to provide SCAP content via other method than HTTP protocol

Actual results:
Just HTTP and HTTPS protocols supported currently.

Expected results:
Would be nice to have support also for other commonly used protocols, e.g. NFS, FTP or Samba for example.

I believe that FTP is quite widely used, but NFS and Samba are not so common for data retrieval. Moreover, while FTP is a transfer protocol similar to HTTP(S), NFS and Samba are by their nature quite different as they are base on mounting. I'm changing the summary of this bug to request only the FTP protocol. If somebody wants NFS or Sambda in the future, they should create a new specific bug.

Comment 2 Vratislav Podzimek 2014-02-25 13:57:12 UTC
The FTP support was added in the upstream commit https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/oscap-anaconda-addon.git/commit/?id=100b659af03983116b989f540c68f99c6ed4b537
