Looks like the customization you made cannot be validated against the XCCDF schema. You would have to look at the schema to see how the <ident> element is defined. Keep in mind that any customization you make will have to be within the defined construct of <ident>.

I wonder how I could add my own Security Identifiers, because when trying to simply add e.g. a „customerident“ attribute into the shorthand XCCDF as per below, my build fails with: [...] xmllint --format --output output/shorthand.xml output/shorthand.xml xsltproc --stringparam ssg_version "0.1.27" -o output/xccdf-unlinked-unresolved.xml transforms/shorthand2xccdf.xslt output/shorthand.xml oscap xccdf resolve -o output/xccdf-unlinked-empty-groups.xml output/xccdf-unlinked-unresolved.xml File 'output/xccdf-unlinked-unresolved.xml' line 153: Element '{http://checklists.nist.gov/xccdf/1.1}ident': The attribute 'system' is required but missing.

Example of what I'm trying to achieve: <Rule id="sshd_allow_only_protocol2"> <title>My Title</title> <description>My description</description> <rationale>My rationale</rationale> <ident cce="27072-8" customerident="1234" stig="RHEL-06-000227"/> <oval id="sshd_allow_only_protocol2"/> <ref disa="776,774,1436" nist="AC-3(10),IA-5(1)(c)"/> </Rule> Any pointers highly appreciated :-) !
