Add your Puppet Enterprise credentials to Security Compliance Management

To allow Security Compliance Management to communicate with Puppet Enterprise, you must add your PE credentials to Security Compliance Management.

Before you begin

Make sure you have classified the nodes you want to scan in Puppet Enterprise (PE).

Adding your Puppet Enterprise credentials authenticates Security Compliance Management with Role Based Access Control (RBAC). Your Puppet Enterprise account requires the following permissions:


Type	Action	Instance
Console	View	-
Job Orchestrator	Start, stop and view jobs	-
Node Groups	View	All
Nodes	View node data from PuppetDB	-
Tasks	Run Tasks	Task: `comply::backup_assessor` Permitted on: All nodes
Tasks	Run Tasks	Task: `comply::ciscat_scan` Permitted on: All nodes
User Roles	View	All
User Roles	Create	All

For more information on permissions, see User permissions and user roles.

In Security Compliance Management — located at https://<COMPLY-HOSTNAME>/ — click Settings.
Enter your Puppet Enterprise hostname, username, and password.
Click Submit.

Tip: You can refresh the Puppet Enterprise node and fact information by clicking Refresh data.
