Description of problem: We have users that want to save the Tailoring file directly to the DataStream. This is actually quite common use-case outside of OpenSCAP. Even though its merits are not warranted. See new validation requirements NIST 7511r4 for more details on usage of DataStreams and Tailorings. There are two possible scenarios. - Save Tailoring as a DataStream with a benchmark hint to another DataStream. - Save Tailoring as a DataStream with Benchmark included in the same DataStream. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Customize 2. Save As -> DataStream 3.
Just FYI: This issue can be workarounded by this script: https://github.com/mpreisler/combine-tailoring/blob/master/combine-tailoring.py Included tailoring can be then referenced as any other profile.
Wouldn't it be awesome to have it implemented anyway?
This issue was not selected to be included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 because it is seen either as low or moderate impact to a small number of use-cases. The next release will be in Maintenance Support 1 Phase, which means that qualified Critical and Important Security errata advisories (RHSAs) and Urgent Priority Bug Fix errata advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available. We will now close this issue, but if you believe that it qualifies for the Maintenance Support 1 Phase, please re-open; otherwise, we recommend moving the request to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 if applicable.
