pmserviced

Syntax
pmserviced [-d] [-n] [-s] [-v] 
Description

The Safeguard for Sudo service daemon, (pmserviced) is a persistent process that spawns the configured Safeguard for Sudo services on demand. The pmserviced daemon is responsible for listening on the configured ports for incoming connections for the Safeguard for Sudo daemons.It is capable of running the pmmasterd service.

Only one of pmmasterd and pmclientd may be enabled as they use the same TCP/IP port. For more information about these daemon settings, see the individual topics in PM settings variables.

Options

pmserviced has the following options.

Table 43: Options: pmserviced
Option Description

-d

Logs debugging information such as connection received, signal receipt and service execution.

By default, pmserviced only logs errors.

-n

Does not run in the background or create a pid file. By default, pmserviced forks and runs as a background daemon, storing its pid in /var/opt/quest/qpm4u/pmserviced.pid. When you specify the -n option, it stays in the foreground. If you also specify the -d option, error and debug messages are logged to the standard error in addition to the log file or syslog.

-s

Connects to the running pmserviced and displays the status of the services, then exits.

-v

Displays the version number of Safeguard for Sudo and exits.

pmserviced Settings

pmserviced uses the following options in /etc/opt/quest/qpm4u/pm.settings to determine the daemons to run, the ports to use, and the command line options to use for each daemon.

pmsrvcheck

Syntax
pmsrvcheck --csv [ --verbose ] | --help | --pmpolicy | --primary | --secondary
Description

Use pmsrvcheck to verify that a policy server is setup properly. It produces output in either human-readable or CSV format similar to that produced by the preflight program.

The pmsrvcheck command checks:

  • that the host is configured as a primary policy server and has a valid repository

  • has a valid, up-to-date, checked-out copy of the repository

  • has access to update the repository

  • has a current valid Safeguard for Sudo license

  • pmmasterd is correctly configured

  • pmmasterd can accept connections

pmsrvcheck produces output in either human-readable or CSV format similar to the pre-flight output.

Options

pmsrvcheck has the following options.

Table 46: Options: pmsrvcheck
Option Description

--cvs

Displays csv, rather than human-readable output.

--help

Displays usage information.

--pmpolicy

Verifies that Safeguard for Sudo policy is in use by the policy servers.

--primary

Verifies a primary policy server.

--secondary

Verifies a secondary policy server.

--verbose

Displays verbose output while checking the host.

--version

Displays the Safeguard for Sudo version number and exits.

	         [--plugin] [--unix] [-- verbose] --unconfig -N policy_name [--policyname policy_name]
Description

Use the pmsrvconfig command to configure or reconfigure a policy server. You can run it in interactive or batch mode to configure a primary or secondary policy server.

Options

pmsrvconfig has the following options.

Table 47: Options: pmsrvconfig
Option Description

-a | --accept

Accepts the End User License Agreement (EULA), /opt/quest/qpm4u/qpm4u_eula.txt.

-b | --batch

Runs in batch mode; does not use colors or require user input.

-d <variable>=<value> | --define <variable>=<value>

Specifies a variable for the pm.settings file and its associated value.

-h | --help

Displays usage information.

-i | --interactive

Runs in interactive mode; prompts for configuration parameters instead of using the default values.

-f <path> | --import <path>

Imports policy data from the specified path.

  • Privilege Manager for Unix: The path may be set to either a file or a directory when using the pmpolicy type.

  • Safeguard for Sudo: The path must be set to a file when using the sudo policy type.

-l | --license <license_file>

Specifies the full pathname of an .xml license file. You can specify this option multiple times with different license files.

-m sudo | pmpolicy | --policymode sudo | pmpolicy

Specifies the type of security policy:

  • sudo

  • pmpolicy

Default: sudo

-n | --name <group_name>

Uses group_name as the policy server group name.

-p | --plugin

Configures the Sudo Plugin.

This option is only available when using the sudo policy type (Safeguard for Sudo).

-q | --pipestdin

Pipes password to stdin if password is required.

-s | --secondary <hostname>

Configures host to be a secondary policy server where hostname is the primary policy server.

-u | --unconfig

Unconfigures a Privilege Manager for Unix server.

-v | --verbose

Displays verbose output while configuring the host.

-N policy_name | --policyname policy_name

When configuring the plugin, use policy_name as the name of the policy instead of the default. This option is used to specify the name of the policy that the server should use when making policy decisions.

Examples

The following example accepts the End User License Agreement (EULA) and imports the sudoers file from /root/tmp/sudoers as the initial policy:

# pmsrvconfig -a -f /root/tmp/sudoers

By using the -a option, you are accepting the terms and obligations of the EULA in full.

By default, the primary policy server you configure uses the host name as the policy server group name. To provide your own group name, use the -n command option, like this:

# pmsrvconfig -a -n <MyPolicyGroup>

where <MyPolicyGroup> is the name of your policy group.

Files

Directory where pmsrvconfig logs are stored: /opt/quest/qpm4u/install
