Scanning Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 and 6 are the only operating systems officially supported by
Secunia for the CSI RHEL scan agent. It may be possible to install the scan agent on operating
systems and configurations other than those described. However, these have not been tested
and are not supported by Secunia.
The scan agent for RHEL uses the inventory which is already present (RPM) and displays this in
the Secunia CSI after being processed by Secunia Detection/Version Rules. To download the
Secunia CSI Agent for Red Hat Linux, go to Scanning > Scanning via Local Agents >
Download Local Agents.
Installing the CSIA for Red Hat Linux
To install the CSIA for Red Hat Linux:
Login as root at the RHEL machine and install/update the package (the same command line
option works for both cases):
su root
/bin/rpm -U <path>/csia_linux-7.0.0.11-1.noarch.rpm

Set the applicable standard proxy environment variables from this set:
no_proxy
NO_PROXY
https_proxy
HTTPS_PROXY

all_proxy
ALL_PROXY
Alternatively, you can update the proxy setting to override the environment variables:
1. Update the proxy setting in the configuration file /etc/csia_config.xml
2. Login as root and restart the scanner service:
su root
service secunia_csia restart
Specifying the LAN Group of the machine:
This setting will be overridden if the DNS domain name of the machine is publicly available
(check with the 'dnsdomainname' command).
1. Update the lanGroup setting in the configuration file /etc/csia_config.xml
2. Login as root and restart the scanner service:
su root
service secunia_csia restart
