Hi Mike,
if you open the tailoring file you have created, you'll see it's in the format of small profile. This profile is extension (diff) of base profile in this case it's extension of stig-rhel7-disa.

So the options you have in the kickstart say:
> content-type = scap-security-guide
use ssg-rhel7-ds.xml from scap-security guide

> tailoring-path = ssg-rhel7-ds-tailoring-custom.xml
combine datastream with additional profile(s) defined within the tailoring file

> profile = xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_stig-rhel7-disa_customized
use the tailored profile you just included

The reason tailored profile is not used automatically is that technically, it's possible to have tailoring file with multiple different altered profiles, so we just merge them into the datastream and let user choose.

Hope it helps!

Watson,

I'm a little confused about what profile and tailored are supposed to be.  For example, here is what I have in the %post of my kickstart:

%addon org_fedora_oscap
    content-type = scap-security-guide
    profile = xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_stig-rhel7-disa
    tailoring-path = ssg-rhel7-ds-tailoring-custom.xml
%end

I produced the ' ssg-rhel7-ds-tailoring-custom.xml' file using the scap-workbench tool after making changes.  When I first start the customization off of the DISA profie, it defaults to the name 'xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_stig-rhel7-disa_customized' like you're saying, but how does the system I'm loading know about this customized profile?  The scap-workbench is on a system where I create the image but how doe a new system I'm loading with my image know anything about 'xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_stig-rhel7-disa_customized'? That's why I'm asking if something more than the tailored-custom.xml file that needs to copied to the image.  Does that make sense?

        Thank you for the reply Watson!  I discovered what your saying
        is exactly right.  One thing I would add is that it needs to be
        copied there in the %pre section of kickstart.  It took me a
        week to figure that out. Adding in the %post does not work...

        I'm still having issues however.  Now that it seems to find my
        tailored file it doesn't seem to implementing some (or all) of
        my custom changes.  For example, I need to keep X11 installed,
        so I exclude setting to have those packages removed but those
        files are getting removed anyway.

        Is the tailored file the only thing that needs to be copied?  Is
        the profile need to be something other than
        'xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_stig-rhel7-disa' that
        should be copied too?


    The value for profile should be the ID you specified when creating
    the tailoring. SCAP Workbench by default adds "_customized" suffix.
    In the customization file, it  should be defined it in the
    "xccdf:Profile" element in the attribute "id".

    If the default value suggested by SCAP Workbench was used, the
    profile ID will be:
profile=xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_stig-rhel7-disa_customized

            I'm a new to this project and have always done my SCAP
            lock downs with kickstart scripts up until now.  This
            looks to be something I switched to a long time ago.

            In the environment I work in, I need to make custom ISO
            installation disks to send out to the field. I've been
            testing out the 'addon
            xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_stig-rhel7-disa'
            security profile and then made a custom tailored XML
            following the guidelines keep a few things on that were
            being removed.  My problem is that now that I have my
            'ssg-rhel7-ds-tailoring.xml' file, where do I put it in my
            kickstart image?

              I've tried copying it in the post -nochroot section of
            my kickstart to  /tmp/openscap_data and
            /root/openscap_data and neither of those worked.


        From what I see in the source code, the tailoring file needs
        to be in "/tmp/openscap_data".
        During the post install phase, the addon copies the file to
        "/root/openscap_data" and uses the tailoring from there.


            Can someone tell me or show me where in the guide it show
            where it's supposed to go?

            This is what my kickstart looks like:

            -------------------------------------
            %post --nochroot
            cp /run/install/repo/hardening/ssg-rhel7-ds-tailoring.xml
            /root/openscap_data/



            %addon org_fedora_oscap
                content-type = scap-security-guide
profile=xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_profile_stig-rhel7-disa

        One thing to note is that the profile to use here should be
        the one created in the tailoring file.

                tailoring-path=ssg-rhel7-ds-tailoring.xml
            %end
            -------------------------------------


            Thanks for all the work...this is a great project.
