Description Bryan Kearney 2016-04-28 18:11:24 UTC
This is supoprted with Satellite 6.2 now:


1) Create a product called "Oval Files"
2) Create a repo of type "file" called Red Hat. Make the upstream url be https://www.redhat.com/security/data/oval/. Set the repo to be exposed via http
3) Sync the repo
4) $$PROFIT

At this point you have a local http repo of the oval files. Create a sync plan and it will update at your convenience. This repo can be promoted through environments in the same way as any other content.

This could be applied in two locations:

a) Content Management Guide
b) Host Configuration Guide (Chapter 5. Security Compliance Management)

It could also be something to document in both guides, not just in one guide.

@adahms, did you have a preference for what we should do? I'm happy to take this BZ on.

Hi Dan,

At a glance, this looks like it would be a good candidate for the Content Management Guide, but what do you think?

If needed, we can always link to it from the chapter on security compliance management, and when this content is also converted into AsciiDoc, we can explore having a single-sourced version of the content in both guides then if that would be appropriate.

Happy for you to take this on as well, and we can verify and publish the changes as soon as they're in.

Kind regards,

Andrew

Sure, I'll add to the CMG. It's content and can be synchronized, so it makes sense that the CMG is where it belongs.

Comment 7 Dan Macpherson 2016-05-06 03:24:42 UTC
The bugs were included as part of technical review of the full guide. In addition, the guide has been peer reviewed.

Setting the QA contact to adahms and flipping the status to ON_QA.

Sorry, this got caught in a bulk bug update. Switching back to ASSIGNED.

Comment 11 Andrew Dahms 2016-05-11 04:13:25 UTC
Looks good to me.

Moving to VERIFIED.

Comment 12 Andrew Dahms 2016-05-11 04:28:19 UTC
This content is now live on the Customer Portal.

Closing.
