The wfattribute tag

The simplest variables are workflow attributes. When a posture collector
performs a check that fails, it will often associate a

workflow

object with the

element. The workflow object may contain one or more named lists of

attributes

.

These attributes may be accessible using the wfattribute tag. When a workflow
tag refers to a list with more than one item, the items are listed separated by
commas. For example, a collector that checks for a required list of users might
have the following attribute lists:

current_values
jdoe
ssmith
admin
required_values
jdoe
ssmith
admin
secureadmin
files
/etc/users

Table 8-4 shows possible HTML and the output that would result.
