A.1 Lightweight UNIX Solution Checklist

The following checklist provides an overview of how to obtain data and run a security check for a Lightweight UNIX computer.

 

Checklist Items

  1. Run the data collection script on the Lightweight UNIX computer you want to audit. See Section A.2, Running the Data Collection Script.

  1. Transfer the Lightweight UNIX data files to a UNIX agent computer.See Section A.3, Transferring the Data Files.

  1. Install the Lightweight UNIX data files on the UNIX agent computer. See Section A.4, Installing the Data Files.

  1. Create a Lightweight UNIX endpoint on the UNIX agent computer in Secure Configuration Manager. See Section 2.5, Working with Endpoints.

  1. Run a security check on the Lightweight UNIX endpoint. See Section 4.1, Understanding Security Checks.

After setting up the endpoint, you can repeat the first three steps in the checklist to provide current data for reports. You can collect, transfer, and install data as often as you want, as long as you install the data files to the same UNIX agent computer each time. If you change the UNIX agent computer where you install the data files, you must set up a new Lightweight UNIX endpoint in Secure Configuration Manager. For more information about setting up an endpoint, see Section 2.5, Working with Endpoints.
