Gatekeeper settings must be configured correctly.

Check content

To check to make sure only applications downloaded from the App Store are allowed to run, type the following code: system_profiler SPConfigurationProfileDataType | grep AllowIdentifiedDevelopers | awk '{ print $3 }' | sed 's/;//' If the returned value is not "0", this is a finding.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
