Sample Usage

The following example ensures that every week an SCAP audit is executed and the results are sent to proxy at proxy.example.com:9090. The example will automatically attempt to install foreman_scap_client on the system. If you do not wish to use your tailoring file with policy, just pass empty strings to tailoring variables.

    }]
}

Usage with foreman_openscap

When using this role together with foreman_openscap, no further configuration should be necessary as values come from Foreman's ENC. However, verify the values for server, port and policies after importing the role; they should have overrides enabled and the policies should be <%= @host.policies_enc %>

Testing

Tests are set up to run in Docker using Molecule and Testinfra. Make sure to install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt
