The KHIKA Hardening Compliance Report internally uses a sqlite database (www.sqlite.org) to maintain the hardening templates and the sqlite database is available on the KHIKA Application Server at the following location:
- For Windows Servers -> /opt/KHIKA/Apps/Dashboards_n_Reports/WIN_GRC/policy_db.dat
- For Linux Servers -> /opt/KHIKA/Apps/Dashboards_n_Reports/Linux_GRC/linux_policy.db
Customization of Hardening policy may include anything from creating your own hardening policy template to editing an existing hardening policy. To know more, please read on:

To edit an existing hardening policy
The KHIKA Server Hardening mechanism internally uses an sqlite database to maintain the various hardening parameters and along with their expected values and in order to edit an existing hardening policy, you will need to update the sqlite database. This can be easily done by coping the appropriate policy database from the KHIKA Application server to the Windows Machine where SQLiteBrowser is available via WinSCP or any other equivalent utilities. Once the policy database sqlite file is copied to the windows server, open the policy database using SQLite Browser.
To create your own hardening policy template
Policy Database
NOTE
To edit the sqlite database, it is recommended to use an open source utility named 'Sqlite Browser' which may be downloaded from the https://sqlitebrowser.org/ (please review the license policy before downloading & using the sqlite browser utility).
