Hi,

I have some oval compliance definitions to check things like screensaver lockout, tcp/ip security parameters and so on.
I was wondering if these definitions have sense or the compliance repository is deprecated and cover with XCCDF stuff.

Regards

Jamie,

 

As you pointed out most of the compliance definitions for configuration settings like the ones you referred to are available in the FDCC SCAP content provided by NIST and in the Microsoft published security baselines. For this reason there has not been a lot of community interest in adding them to the oval repository. The compliance content that we do have is all outside the scope of the FDCC and the Microsoft security baseline. My feeling for now is that if you have configuration checks that are not covered by these other source it would make sense to add them to the oval repository.

 

Regards,

 

Jon
