The Software Installation Profile is required. Determine what the signature policy is for pkg publishers: # pkg property | grep signature-policy Check that output produces: signature-policy verify If the output does not confirm that signature-policy verify is active, this is a finding. Check that package permissions are configured and signed per vendor requirements. # pkg verify If the command produces any output unrelated to STIG changes, this is a finding. There is currently a Solaris 11 bug 16267888 which reports pkg verify errors for a variety of python packages. These can be ignored.
