SCAP 1.0 and 1.1 only. A checklist consists of a ZIP file that contains several XML files called a SCAP Stream. The primary file in the Stream is the XCCDF file. The XCCDF file is a structured collection of security configuration rules for a set of target devices. Essentially, it is a list of OVAL tests that should be run. The other XML files contain the OVAL tests specified in the XCCDF file. For detailed information on the XCCDF Specification, go to http://scap.nist.gov/specifications/xccdf/.
SCAP 1.2 and later only. These versions use a single file containing all required streams.
During resolution, the oval-command.zip file is generated. This ZIP file contains the input files necessary to run a particular profile. You can view the files on the Script Detail page. See Configure SCAP schedules.
• |
benchmark.zip: contains the benchmark files, that is, the SCAP Stream that was uploaded to the appliance. (The XCCDF file is not actually used by the device.) |
• |
oval-command.zip: contains the input files generated by the XCCDF. |
• |
ovalref.zip: contains the OVAL scanning engine (ovaldi.exe). |
Each run generates a results file. These files are named according to the run. For example, the file from the first run is named scap-profile-10-result-1.xml and the second is named scap-profile-10-result-2.xml. These files are located in the following directory: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Quest\KACE\kbots_cache\packages\kbots\<working directory>.
To find the KACE Agent’s working directory, go to Inventory > Devices > Device Detail > Logs.
These results files are then uploaded to the appliance and collated into a single results file (xccdf-results.xml). You can use this file for reporting the results to a government agency such as the US OMB (United States Office of Management and Budget). The appliance and managed device retain only the latest results files.
In the final step of a run, a subset of the results files is extracted and stored in the Organization database for reporting and displayed on the SCAP Scan Results page for each device.
The database tables that contain this information are SCAP_RESULT, SCAP_RESULT_RULE, and SCAP_RESULT_SCORE. See View SCAP scan results.
You can access SCAP Scan information in the Security section.

NOTE: The default engine is MITRE’s OVAL Interpreter (ovaldi.exe). The appliance automatically downloads updates to this engine when Quest certifies and releases new versions of the engine and OVAL definitions. |
7. |
Optional: Click Browse or Choose File to find and upload a custom engine and its configuration files. |
TIP: Use a custom engine if you need local control of the OVAL engine or if you do not want automatic updates to change the engine. The custom engine must be a ZIP file of a folder containing the custom ovaldi.exe and any necessary configuration files required to run the engine. This ZIP file replaces the ovalref.zip dependency file in the SCAP scan script. See View the resolved XCCDF files. |
