Hi GD,

Just leave the default settings of the security profile in the Anaconda installer untouched, right as it is and you're good to go ... :)

Ok, so just leave it where there is no policy selected? Thanks!

Yes exactly, GD - I know, it's a bit misleading ... but yes - "no policy selected" means "default profile".
The default security profile doesn't contain individual configurations, thus it is named "no profile". :)

Hi GD,

Just for clarification ... in earlier RHEL editions the Anaconda installer displayed it as "Default
Policy" with this context : "The implicit XCCDF profile. Usually, the default contains no rules."
I've no idea why that was changed - anyway, leaving it untouched leads to the same results. :)

Christian
