RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Milan Lysonek 2021-06-03 11:39:02 UTC 
Description of problem:
The dconf_gnome_login_retries rule results in error during remediation. The dconf_gnome_login_retries remediation breaks dconf configuration file - /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/00-security-settings.
With the broken dconf configuration file, it is not possible to remediate the dconf_db_up_to_date rule.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
scap-security-guide-0.1.54-3.el7_9.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. oscap xccdf eval --profile ncp --remediate --report report_1.html /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel7-ds.xml
2. oscap xccdf eval --profile ncp --remediate --report report_2.html /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel7-ds.xml

Actual results:
dconf_gnome_login_retries results in error during both remediations
dconf_db_up_to_date results in error during second remediation run

Expected results:
Both rules pass in both remediation runs

Additional info:
dconf rules are evaluated only on machines installed with GUI packages.

Both rules are only in NCP profile for rhel7.

Both rules show same error message:
unable compile /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d: /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/00-security-settings: [org/gnome/login-screen]: allowed-failures3gdm.d: invalid value: 00-security-settings (2-3:invalid character in number)

Problematic line from /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/00-security-settings:
allowed-failures3gdm.d=00-security-settings
