Environment
Netiq Secure Configuration Manager 5.8
Situation
How do I create a check to look for a blank field?
Resolution
Create a security check using the custom check wizard. On the filter page, select the attribute that you are reporting on. In the field for criteria you have to enter something. Enter something like an X that you will easily find when you export and edit the check. Save the check and then export it. Edit the exported check with Notepad. Search for the filter you entered and remove what is between the brackets. See example:
WHERE Windows_UserRight.UserList == {?X?};
This is changed to:
WHERE Windows_UserRight.UserList == {};
Cause
The SCM custom check wizard does not allow you to enter a blank in the filter.
