    Before you begin

    Role required: sn_irm_cont_auth.authorization_official, sn_irm_cont_auth.info_system_sec_manager, sn_irm_cont_auth.info_system_sec_officer, sn_irm_cont_auth.system_owner

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > CAM Workspace.
    2. In the CAM Workspace, select the List icon (List).
    3. Select Authorization packages from the RMF list.
    4. From the list view on the right pane, select the authorization package record for which you wish to generate SSP files.
      Note:
      The authorization package must be in Implement state to generate OSCAL SSP.
    5. Select the more actions icon (More actions icon.) and click the Export OSCAL SSP option from the list.
      A message appears stating that the OSCAL report is being processed and that the file will be exported. A zip is generated which contains JSON files along with some diagrams.
      Note:
      If you do not have the Integration Hub Pro entitlement that is not included in the CAM Workspace, then follow the steps in the Generate OSCAL Models without zip [KB1651422] article in the Now Support Knowledge Base to generate the OSCAL models.
    6. Refresh the page and click the attachment icon (Attachment icon.) in the sidebar.
    7. Select the action icon (More actions icon) in the oscal-ssp.zip and click the Download option.
      Dowload oscal-ssp-zip from the sidebar.
    8. Right-click the zip file and select Open to extract the file contents from the oscal-ssp.zip.
      You can view the catalog.json, overlay-catalog.json, profile.json, ssp.json files. Additionally, if the authorization package has any diagrams that are mapped to it, then they are also available in the contents of the zip. The diagrams can be a catalog dataflow diagram, network architecture diagram, or an authorization boundary diagram, available as png files in the zip.
