SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires openssl, openclaw, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

OpenClaw deployments can be vulnerable if security policies are weak. This skill provides ready-to-use hardening guidelines, recommended policies, and a script to apply them.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Gateway hardening: bind to loopback and enforce token-based authentication to restrict exposure.
  • Channel and exec policy configuration: implement allowlists and approval workflows to reduce risk.
  • Tool policies and audits: enforce safe tools, optional approval forwarding, and automated checks.

Quick Start

Run the built-in hardening script to apply security best practices: ./scripts/harden.sh After running, review ~/.openclaw/exec-approvals.json and run openclaw security audit --deep to verify.

Frequently Asked Questions about security-hardening

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I harden OpenClaw gateway security configurations?▼

To harden OpenClaw security configurations, bind the gateway to loopback and enforce token-based authentication. This restricts external exposure and ensures only authorized clients can connect.

How do I set up exec approvals and allowlists for OpenClaw channels?▼

Configure exec approvals and allowlists by editing the exec-approvals.json file. This implements approval workflows and channel restrictions to reduce the risk of unauthorized tool execution.

What is the best way to apply security policies to OpenClaw tool usage?▼

The best way to apply tool policies is using an automated hardening script. This enforces safe tools, configures optional approval forwarding, and applies standardized security checks across the deployment.

Do I need openssl to enforce token authentication on an OpenClaw gateway?▼

Yes, you need openssl to generate the tokens required for gateway authentication. Token-based authentication prevents unauthorized access when the gateway is properly hardened.

How do I verify OpenClaw hardening policies after applying configuration changes?▼

Verify OpenClaw hardening policies by running a deep security audit. This automated check reviews your configuration against enforced tool policies and gateway restrictions to confirm compliance.

Why does my OpenClaw deployment remain vulnerable after initial setup?▼

OpenClaw deployments remain vulnerable when security policies are weak or unconfigured. You must apply hardening guidelines covering gateway binds, allowlists, and exec approvals to protect channels and tool usage.
