PM settings variables

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]]. See Configuration prerequisites to view a sample pm.settings file.

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.

Table 32: Variables: pm.settings
Variable Data type Description
certificates boolean (YES/NO)

Specifies whether certificates are enabled. To enable configurable certification, add the following statement to the /etc/opt/quest/qpm4u/pm.settings file on each host: certificates yes.

Default: NO

For more information, see Enable configurable certification.

checksumtype string Specifies standard or MD5 checksum types for use with pmsum program.
clients list of hostnames

Identifies hosts for which remote access functions are allowed. Only required if one policy server needs to retrieve remote information from another policy server that does not normally accept requests from it.

For more information, see Central logging with Privilege Manager for Unix.

clientverify string

Identifies the level of host name verification applied by the policy server host to the submit host name. The verification ensures that the incoming IP address resolves (on the primary policy server) to the same host name as presented by the submit host.

Valid values are:

  • none: No verification performed.
  • yes: If a host name is presented for verification by the runclient it will be verified.
  • All: The policy server will only accept a request from a client if the host name is verified.

Default: NONE

encryption string

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

Valid values are:

  • AES
  • DES
  • TripleDES

Default: AES

eventlogqueue string

Directory used by pmmasterd and pmlogsrvd where event data is temporarily queued prior to being written to the event log database.

Default: /var/opt/quest/qpm4u/evcache

EventQueueFlush integer

Tells pmlogadm how often to reopen the db (in minutes) flushing the data.

Default: 0, in which case pmlogsrvd will keep the db open while the service is running.

EventQueueProcessLimit integer

Specifies the number of cached events that will be processed at a time; this limits the memory use in pmlogadm.

Default: 0, in which case pmlogsrvd will not apply a limit.

facility string Sets the SYSLOG facility name to use when logging a message to the syslog file.

Valid values are:

  • LOG_AUTH
  • LOG_CRON
  • LOG_DAEMON
  • LOG_KERN
  • LOG_LOCAL0 through LOG_LOCAL7
  • LOG_LPR
  • LOG_MAIL
  • LOG_NEWS
  • LOG_USER
  • LOG_UUCP

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

failovertimeout integer

Sets the timeout in seconds before a connection attempt to a policy server is abandoned and the client fails over to the next policy server in the list.

This setting also affects the timeout for the client and agent.

Default: 10 seconds. If omitted from pm.settings, default is 180 seconds.

failsafecommand string

Sets the command to run in failsafe mode; that is, login pmksh user as root.

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

handshake boolean (YES/NO)

Privilege Manager for Unix Flow Control Statements

You can use the following reserved words to control the flow of logic in the pmpolicy file.

Table 33: Control flow reserved words
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.

while

Perform the loop body multiple times until an expression is true, evaluating the expression before running the statement.

accept, reject

Syntax
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];
Description

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.

Examples
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 
}

break

Syntax
break;
Description

The break statement exits a loop and terminates cases. Use to force an immediate exit in case statements and looping statements such as for, while, and do-while statements.

Example
for ( oneuser in userlist ) 
{ 
   if (oneuser == "root") 
   { 
      break; 
   } 
   print(oneuser); 
}
