Pre-defined reports
You can configure the compliance reports of SPS using the predefined_reports endpoint.
To help you comply with the regulations of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) can generate reports on the compliance status of SPS. Note that this is not a fully-featured compliance report: it is a tool to enhance and complement your compliance report by providing information available in SPS. The report corresponds with the document Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard, Requirements and Security Assessment Procedures, Version 3.0, published by the PCI Security Standards Council.

Add a content subchapter
To add a content subchapter, you have to:
-
Open a transaction.
For more information, see Open a transaction.
-
Create the JSON object for the new content subchapter.
POST the JSON object to the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/reporting/content_subchapters/ endpoint. You can find a detailed description of the available parameters listed in Element .
-
To use a channel policy for filtering, use the key of the policy. You must also set the protocol element to the corresponding protocol.
For example, to use the shell-only channel policy, which is a default SSH policy provided by SPS, you have to configure both the channel_policy element…
"channel_policy": "-10000"
…and the protocol element:
"protocol": "ssh"
If the POST request is successful, the response includes the key of the new subchapter. For example:
{
"key": "416bb324-b44e-4ed3-a49d-02e99e53e941",
"meta": {
"href": "/api/configuration/reporting/content_subchapters/416bb324-b44e-4ed3-a49d-02e99e53e941",
"parent": "/api/configuration/reporting/content_subchapters",
"transaction": "/api/transaction"
}

Modify a content subchapter
To modify a content subchapter, you have to:
-
Open a transaction.
For more information, see Open a transaction.
-
Modify the JSON object of the subchapter.
You can find a detailed description of the available parameters listed in Element
To use a channel policy for filtering, do not include the returned key and meta elements of the channel policy in your PUT request. Instead, set the value of the channel_policy to the value of its key.
For example, if a GET request for the subchapter returns the following channel_policy filter:
"channel_policy": {
"key": "-10200",
"meta": {
"href": "/api/configuration/ssh/channel_policies/-10200"
}
}
You have to change it in your PUT request to:
"channel_policy": "-10200"
You must also configure the protocol element to the protocol of the channel policy.
-
Upload the modified configuration
PUT the modified JSON object to the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/reporting/content_subchapters/<subchapter-key> endpoint.
-
Commit your changes.
