Option to include content of allowlists in printed Compliance reports.

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Currently, for printed Compliance reports, used for auditing purposes, the allow lists, nor their contents are included in the reports.

In previous versions of STIG compliance reports, the details were visibile, and we are pursueing having those added back to v3r1 report, maybe as an option, in an effort parallell to this RFE.

This RFE is to request an option to include the contents of the allowlists (users and groups) in the printed compliance report, so it can be stored together with the report.

As modifying allowlists is a way to alter the output of the compliance report, we should provide it as evidence to internal audit. It should be possible to audit changes to whitelists, and what they included. Rather than having simple jobsteps to print those members as steps in the compliance report JCL, it would be better with an option to include it when printing the report. That only the allowlists used in the tests for this current report is shown, rather than all allow lists. Also that the printed allowlists shows them as they were at the tiem of the ckfreeze file, rather than from the time the report job executes.
