Ok, there’s an inconsistency then.  The DISA STIG says that the private keys need to be 0600.  Looks like they set permissions to the DISA version of the rule, but are scanning the SSG version of the rule.

Can you provide a “proof of concept” that shows the key generation failing if the permissions are set to 0600 so I have something in my back pocket to show our customer?


It's a known issue in the DISA content. We let them know about it a few years ago now. Have been told a fix is making it's way through their release processes.
