Solution Packs

Controls within a Solution Pack can include the following types of content:

Although Solution Packs have many uses, one of the most important use is to package content related to governance and regulatory compliance into a comprehensible and easily enforceable framework that is easy to deploy. Novell and its partners offer and extend Solution Packs around such regulations or other customer needs.

Solution Packs are created with Solution Designer application. Using this tool, a user creates the Solution Pack, associated controls and documentation (including implementation and testing steps), and then associates Sentinel content with each control. The entire package is then exported as a ZIP file.

The ZIP file containing the Solution Pack is imported and deployed into an existing Sentinel system by using the Solution Manager in the Sentinel Control Center. The Solution Manager displays implementation and testing steps in the Solution Pack and tracks the status of each control. At any time, users can generate a detailed document with implementation status for each control.
