Using OpenSCAP to scan and harden your servers

Determine which profile you want to use: oscap info /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel7-ds.xml replacing the –profile line as required.

Perform a scan:

  oscap xccdf eval --report report.html 
      --profile xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_CS2 
       /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel7-ds.xml 

Apply a remediation:

  oscap xccdf eval --remediate --report report.html 
      --profile xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_CS2 
       /usr/share/xml/scap/ssg/content/ssg-rhel7-ds.xml
