Ignoring SCAP content in the OAA
by Vratislav Podzimek 03 Mar '14

Hello everybody, I'd like to ask you for a favour. In the development cycle of the release 0.5 of the OSCAP Anaconda Addon, I've added an autodetection of the SCAP Security Guide content which means that if the scap-security-guide package is installed in the compose and no other content is specified in the kickstart file, the addon automatically loads SSG content. I believe this brings us a big improvement in UX for testing and finally moves us closer to including the OAA+SSG in the default composes for next Fedora (and others) release. However, this also brings the need to allow user changing the content used by the addon (to switch from autodetected SSG to some different content) and "not applying" content to the system (to easily turn of the functionality once it gets included in the default composes). Turns out it's quite hard to come up with the right widgets and proper labels (wording) that would explain user what's going on. The two mockup suggestions I've made so far are: 1. http://vpodzime.fedorapeople.org/OAA_control_buttons.png 2. http://vpodzime.fedorapeople.org/OAA_control_buttons2.png The 1. uses a GtkToggleButton that can be pushed down and stays in that state and I think it should have some better wording catching the process -- something like "Applying security rules"/"Ignoring security rules" -- that would change when the button is toggled. The 2. uses a switch which relies on the related label next to it and again even in this case, the right wording of the label is the key, I think. What about "Apply security rules"? Please keep in mind the fact, that we would like this screen to be shown even to unexperienced users who have no idea about SCAP and the special terms/keywords it uses. We don't want to confuse users and we want to give them an easy way to opt out. Any suggestions welcome! I'd like to release OAA 0.5 by the end of this week, so it will come with the best layout and wording we will be able to come up till that time.
