UNIX components

Safeguard Authentication Services includes the following UNIX components.

Table 5: UNIX components
UNIX component Description

vasd

The Safeguard Authentication Services agent background process that manages the persistent cache of Active Directory information used by the other Safeguard Authentication Services components. vasd is installed as a system service. You can start and stop vasd using the standard service start/stop mechanism for your platform. vasd is installed by the vasclnt package.

vastool

The Safeguard Authentication Services command line administration utility that allows you to join a UNIX host to an Active Directory Domain; access and modify information about users, groups, and computers in Active Directory; and configure the Safeguard Authentication Services components. vastool is installed at /opt/quest/bin/vastool. vastool is installed by the vasclnt package.

vasgmsaupdate

Service to keep gMSA passwords always up to date

vgptool

A command line utility that allows you to manage the application of Group Policy settings to Safeguard Authentication Services clients. vgptool is installed at /opt/quest/bin/vgptool. vgptool is installed by the vasgp package.

oat (Ownership Alignment Tool)

A command line utility that allows you to modify file ownership on local UNIX hosts to match user accounts in Active Directory. oat is installed at /opt/quest/libexec/oat/oat. oat is installed by the vasclnt package.

LDAP proxy

A background process that secures the authentication channel for applications using LDAP bind to authenticate users without introducing the overhead of configuring secure LDAP (LDAPS). The LDAP proxy is installed by the vasproxy package.

NIS proxy

A background process that acts as a NIS server which can provide backwards compatibility with existing NIS infrastructure. The NIS proxy is installed by the vasyp package.

SDK package

The vasdev package, the Safeguard Authentication Services programming API.
