7.5.3 Choosing Items to Exclude from Consideration
Inevitably, there will be some policy items that must not be remedied. Though their
security settings seemingly violate security policy, they are authorized to do so and, in
fact, would not work properly without these security settings.
For example, if the security policy being analyzed is that all PROGID files must be on
$SYSTEM, then three files that are part of the XSW host installation: OSSLIB,
USERINFO, and ACLINFO, which must have the PROGID feature set to execute
properly across a network, could be failures because XSW is generally not installed on
the $SYSTEM disk. You need a way to exclude these items from consideration, so that
they are documented as excluded and never brought up again for consideration. The
Exclude button is provided to make the exclusion explicit.
To exclude one or more Security Policy items from the list, select the rows you want to
exclude. Click Exclude. The items are eliminated from the Failed Items list. They have
moved to the Excluded Items list, where they will reside until they are deleted or
resolved.
