RHEL 7 CIS STIG

Configure RHEL/Centos 7 machine to be CIS compliant. Level 1 and 2 findings will be corrected by default.

This role will make changes to the system that could break things. This is not an auditing tool but rather a remediation tool to be used after an audit has been conducted.

IMPORTANT INSTALL STEP

If you want to install this via the ansible-galaxy command you'll need to run it like this:

ansible-galaxy install -p roles -r requirements.yml

With this in the file requirements.yml:

Based on CIS RedHat Enterprise Linux 7 Benchmark v2.1.1 - 01-31-2017 .
