This section describes the settings and parameters used by Privilege Manager for Unix. These settings are stored on each host in the /etc/opt/quest/qpm4u/pm.settings file which contains a list of settings, one per line, in the form: settingName value1 [value2 [... valuen]].
You can modify these policy server configuration settings using the configuration script initialized by the pmsrvconfig command or you can modify the pm.settings file manually. See Configuring the primary policy server for Privilege Manager for Unix for details about running the configuration script.
If you manually change the pm.settings file, restart the pmserviced and/or pmloadcheck daemons in order for the changes to take effect.
The following table describes each of the pm.settings variables:
Defaults may differ depending on the platform you are configuring and whether you are configuring a policy server or PM Agent. Many of these settings will not have a default value.
The variables are not case sensitive.
| Variable | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
auditsrvCAbundle |
string |
The path to a certificate authority bundle file, in PEM format, to use instead of the system's default certificate authority database when doing TLS authentication. Example: /etc/ssl/sudo/ca.bundle.pem |
|
auditsrvCert |
string |
The path to the policy server's certificate file, in PEM format. Used for TLS only. Example: /etc/ssl/sudo/qpm_qpmdevel1.cert.pem |
|
auditsrvEnabled |
boolean (YES/NO) |
Specifies if audit server logging is on or off. The default is NO. For more information, see Audit server logging on |
|
auditsrvEnforced |
boolean (YES/NO) |
If YES, the audit server connection failures will be fatal. If NO, the audit log will be collected encrypted on the file system.and sent again to the server if it comes back. |
|
auditsrvHosts |
list of host ports of the audit sever |
The host:port of the audit server. Host can be an ipv4/ipv6/hostname. Multiple hosts need to be separated by comma. Example: qpmdevel1.qpmdomain:30344,127.0.0.1:30344 |
|
auditsrvKeepalive |
boolean (YES/NO) |
Select whether keepalive is enabled on the connection. |
|
auditsrvLocaliologs |
boolean (YES/NO) |
If YES, old pmlog io logs are also written. if NO, io logs are only stored by the sudo log server. |
|
auditsrvLogdir |
string |
If auditsrvEnforced is NO, this is the log directory where audit logs get saved temporarily until they can be sent successfully. Example: /var/opt/quest/qpm4u/auditserver |
|
auditsrvPkey |
string |
The path to the private key of the policy server, in PEM format. Used for TLS only. Example: /etc/ssl/sudo/qpm_qpmdevel1.key.pem |
|
auditsrvPSpaceMB |
boolean (YES/NO) |
The minimum amount of disk space needed before starting to write an audit trail to the temporary storage. This is to prevent disk space filled up. If the disk space is lower, the policy server will reject the connections, just like if it was in "enforced" mode. |
|
auditsrvTimeout |
integer |
The connection timeout in seconds. 3 seconds is recommended. |
|
auditsrvTLS |
boolean (YES/NO) |
If YES, the communication with all the servers will use TLS. Specifying a key is required in this case. |
|
auditsrvTLSCheckpeer |
boolean (YES/NO) |
If YES, client certificates will be validated by the server; clients without a valid certificate will be unable to connect. If NO, no validation of client certificates will be performed. If true and client certificates are created using a private certificate authority, the tls_cacert setting must be set to a CA bundle that contains the CA certificate used to generate the client certificate. The default value is NO. |
|
auditsrvTLSVerify |
boolean (YES/NO); |
If YES, the server certificate will be verified at startup and clients will authenticate the server by verifying its certificate and identity. If NO, no verification is performed of the server certificate by the server or the client. When using self-signed certificates without a certificate uthority, this setting should be set to NO. The default value is YES. |
| certificates | boolean (YES/NO) |

Identifies the encryption type. You must use the same encryption setting on all hosts in your system. Valid values are:

Valid values are:
Default: LOG_AUTH, if the platform defines LOG_AUTH; otherwise the default is 0 (zero). |

If set to yes, the authentication is performed on the client. This variable also affects the user information functions: getfullname(), getgroup(), getgroups(), gethome(), and getshell(). If set to yes in the policy server's pm.settings file, these functions retrieve user information from the client host. Default: NO |

| Statement | Description |
|---|---|
| accept, reject | Accept or reject the submitted request. |
| break | Break out of a while or for loop. |
| continue | Skip the rest of the loop body and continue to the next iteration of the loop. |
| do-while | Perform the loop body multiple times until an expression is true, evaluating the expression after running the statement. |
| for loop | c-style for loop. |
| for loop | Perform the loop body for each element in a list. |
| function | Stand-alone subroutine, allowing you to reuse policy. |
| if-else | Used to determine which statement to run next based on whether an expression is true or false. |
| include | Include the named policy file. |
| procedure / function | Stand-alone subroutine, allowing you to reuse policy. |
| readonly | Mark a variable as read-only. |
| readonlyexcept | Mark all variables as read-only except for the specified list. |
| return | Return from a function or procedure. |
| switch | Used to determine which statement to run next based on whether an expression matches one of several values. |
|
Perform the loop body multiple times until an expression is true, evaluating the expression before running the statement. |
accept [from ["user"][, ["submithost"][, ["command"]
[, ["runhost"]]]]] [when conditional-expression]
[with optional-statements-before-execution];
reject ["reject-text"] [from ["user"][, ["submithost"]
[, ["command"][, ["runhost"]]]]]
[when conditional-expression];
The accept statement accepts the job request submitted by a user. The reject statement denies the request. After a command is accepted, nothing else in the configuration script is run. If neither an accept nor reject statement is reached while parsing the configuration file, the command is rejected by default. A default reject message is displayed to the user if no message is specified with the reject statement. If a null string is specified, then the command is rejected silently.
The expanded form of the accept and reject statements make it possible to accept or reject a command based on the criteria "who", "what", and "where" without using conditional statements.
adminusers = {"dan","robyn"};
adminprogs = {"hostname","kill","csh","ksh"};
if (user in adminusers && command in adminprogs)
{
runuser = "root";
if (user == "dan" && !officehours)
{
reject "You can't use “ + runcommand + “ outside office hours\n"; #custom msg
}
if (user == "robyn" && !officehours)
{
if (!getuserpasswd(user))
reject ; #use default reject msg
}
accept;
}
else
{
reject ""; #reject silently - no msg displayed to the user
