Thank you for responding!  I'm actually getting a bunch of unlinked files in my output directory. Should the usgcb file be usgcb-rhel6-server-xccdf.xml?

Hello,.

     I recently downloaded the SCAP source code and noticed there were some additional profiles listed in the profiles folder. How can I run a scan against these profiles?  For instance wen trying to run a scan against the usgcb-rhel6-server.xml (after successfully using oscap xccdf validate) I get an "unknown document type" error. I think this is because I'm using the stig profile and the ssg cpe dictionary. If so how can I add a usgcb profile and cpe dictionary to successfully scan against this profile?

Thank you for the help.

Good question!

There are a few profiles in the RHEL6/input/profiles/ directory which are still being completed, for example the FISMA, and a few which likely should be deleted (e.g. desktop).

To list out which profiles are compiled in:
$ grep "<Profile" output/ssg-rhel6-xccdf.xml
  <Profile id="test">
  <Profile id="CS2">
  <Profile id="common">
  <Profile id="desktop">
  <Profile id="server">
  <Profile id="ftp">
  <Profile id="stig-rhel6-server">


Profile definitions from RHEL6/input/profiles/ are merged into the build process through the RHEL6/input/guide.xslt file:
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/scap-security-guide.git/tree/RHEL6/input/guide.xslt

Since you're cloning the source (which is great!), I'll wager you're comfortable editing things. If you'd like to check out the (in progress) USGCB, add a line where you see the other apply-templates:


<xsl:apply-templates select="document('profiles/usgcb-rhel6-server.xml')" />

>From there, re-run 'make content' in the RHEL6 directory and you'll see an updated XCCDF in the output/ directory
