This section describes how to use the Satellite web interface to perform audit scans.
Procedure 6.1. To Perform an Audit Scan Using the Web Interface:

- Complete the
Schedule New XCCDF Scan
page. See Section 6.5.2.3, “Schedule Page” for information about the fields on this page.Warning
The XCCDF content is validated before it is run on the remote system. Specifying invalid command-line arguments can causespacewalk-oscap
to fail to validate or run. Due to security concerns theoscap xccdf eval
command only accepts a limited set of parameters.
Note
You can run the
rhn_check
command to ensure that the action is being picked up by the client system.
# rhn_check -vv
If
rhnsd
or osad
are running on the client system, the action will be picked up by these services. To check if they are running, run one of the following commands:
# service rhnsd start
OR# service osad start
To view the results of the scan, see Section 6.4.3, “Viewing the Results of SCAP Audits”.
