OpenSCAP plug-in for Foreman Proxy

A plug-in to the Foreman Proxy which receives bzip2ed ARF files and forwards them as JSON to the Foreman. smart_proxy_openscap plugin is required for the normal operation of OpenSCAP in the Foreman.

Incoming ARF files are authenticated using either puppet certificate or Katello certificate of the client machine. The ARF files are parsed on the proxy and posted to the Foreman as JSON reports and the ARF files are saved in a reports directory, where they can be accessed for full HTML report or downloaded as bzip2ed xml report. If posting is failed, the ARF files are saved in queue for later retry.

• Install smart_proxy_openscap

  # yum install rubygem-smart_proxy_openscap
  

• Add smart_proxy_openscap to your smart proxy bundler.d/openscap.rb gemfile:

  ~$ gem 'smart_proxy_openscap', :git => 'https://github.com/theforeman/smart_proxy_openscap.git'
  

If you don't install through RPM and you are using bundler, you may need to create /var/spool/foreman-proxy & /usr/share/foreman-proxy/openscap directories manually and set it's owner to the user under which foreman-proxy runs.

cp /etc/foreman-proxy/settings.d/openscap.yml{.example,}

Configure the following parameters so it would look like:

---
:enabled: true

# Log file for the forwarding script.
:openscap_send_log_file: /var/log/foreman-proxy/openscap-send.log

# Directory where OpenSCAP audits are stored
# before they are forwarded to Foreman
:spooldir: /var/spool/foreman-proxy/openscap

# Directory where OpenSCAP content XML are stored
# So we will not request the XML from Foreman each time
:contentdir: /var/lib/openscap/content
# Directory where OpenSCAP report XML are stored
# So Foreman can request arf xml reports
:reportsdir: /usr/share/foreman-proxy/openscap/content

• Deploy

  ~# service foreman-proxy restart
