Profile selection

When evaluating the profile-based policy, the policy server must first determine which of the profiles match the incoming request. The policy uses the Who, What, Where, and When criteria specified in the profiles to determine a match. Note that the filename used for the profile is significant. The policy checks each of the profiles sequentially, in lexical order until a match is found. Once the a profile is selected, the remaining profiles are not evaluated.

Profile variables

Privilege Manager for Unix profiles (or roles) define who, what, where, when, and how users are permitted to perform various privileged account actions using variable values in the policy configuration profiles.

The following tables list the predefined variables used in profile-based policy.

Table 9: General variables
Profile variable Value type Explanation
General
  pf_profile String The profile name. This variable is set by the profileBasedPolicy.conf file to be the base filename of the profile, minus the .profile or .shellprofile extension.
  pf_profiledescription String

A description of the profile.

EXAMPLE:

pf_profiledescription = "This is a description of this profile."

  pf_enableprofile Boolean

Set to true to enable the profile.

EXAMPLE:

pf_enableprofile = true;

  pf_tracelevel Number

Enables tracing/debugging output at different levels:

  • 1: show reason for reject
  • 2: verbose output
  • 3: show debug trace

EXAMPLE:

pf_tracelevel = 1;

  pf_enablekeystrokelogging Boolean

Set to true to enable keystroke logging.

EXAMPLE:

pf_enablekeystrokelogging = true;

  pf_iologdir String

The directory in which to store I/O logs. A unique file is created in this directory for each keystroke logging session.

EXAMPLE:

pf_iologdir = "/var/opt/quest/qpm4u/iolog/";

  pf_logpasswords Boolean

Set to false to avoid writing passwords to the keystroke log. The password detection is determined by the pf_passprompts list.

EXAMPLE:

pf_logpasswords = false;

  pf_passprompts List

A list of strings interpreted as password prompts in stdout.

EXAMPLE:

pf_passprompts = {"[pP]assword[ :]*"};

Authentication
  pf_enableauthentication Boolean

Set to true to enable PAM authentication. By default, the submit user is authenticated on the master host using the sshd service.

EXAMPLE:

pf_enableauthentication = true;

  pf_authenticateonclient Boolean

Set to true to require authentication on the client. If set to false, users are authenticated on the server, not on the client.

EXAMPLE:

pf_authenticateonclient = true;

Authentication is only required if pf_enableauthentication = true.

  pf_pamservice String

Identifies the PAM service to use when authenticating to PAM.

EXAMPLE:

pf_pamservice = "sshd";

  pf_pam_prompt String

Configures the prompt to use with PAM.

EXAMPLE:

pf_pam_prompt = "Password: ";

pf_allowscp

 

Set to true to allow scp and non-interactive SSH commands when authentication for the shell is enabled.

Only applies to pmksh, pmcsh, pmsh, pmbash, and pmshellwrapper.

EXAMPLE:

pf_allowscp = false;

Table 10: What settings
Profile variable Value type Explanation
Commands
  pf_authpaths List

Specifies the paths from which commands are permitted to run. Empty lists are ignored. If not empty, this variable is passed to the agent for authorization at the point where the command is about to be run; the agent will then reject a command unless it is run from one of these paths.

For a shell profile, this restriction is applied to the shell program itself, and to commands run from within the shell.

EXAMPLE:

pf_authpaths = {

   # no path restrictions

};

  pf_authcmds List

Commands authorized to run; commands not in the list are rejected.

Considerations:

  • If you specify a fully qualified path in pf_authcmds, you must specify the fully qualified path in the requested command.
  • glob is used to match the path, so be careful when using wild cards in the path.
  • You can precede an entry with an optional NOEXEC flag to ensure that the run command is blocked from forking any child processes. Put the flag at the beginning of the string and enclose the flag with '[]'.

EXAMPLE:

pf_authcmds = {

"/usr/bin/id *"

};

  pf_enableremotecmds Boolean

Set to true to allow commands to run on a different host when running pmrun with the -h option .

EXAMPLE:

pf_enableremotecmds = false;

Shell commands
  pf_shellcommandsaccept List

Specifies the list of commands accepted by pmmasterd when run from within the shell. pmmasterd authorizes listed commands and they produce an event in the audit log. If pf_shellcommandsaccept is not empty, any matching command is accepted; all others are rejected.

Considerations:

  • Only configure pf_shellcommandsreject or pf_shellcommandsaccept.
  • If both lists are empty, then all commands are accepted.
  • Only applies to pmksh, pmcsh, pmsh, and pmbash.

EXAMPLE:

pf_shellcommandsaccept = {

};

  pf_shellcommandsreject List

Specifies the list of commands rejected by pmmasterd when run from within the shell. pmmasterd authorizes listed commands and they produce an event in the audit log. If pf_shellcommandsreject is not empty, any matching command is be rejected; all others are accepted.

Considerations:

  • Only configure pf_shellcommandsreject or pf_shellcommandsaccept.
  • If both lists are empty, then all commands are accepted.
  • Only applies to pmksh, pmcsh, pmsh, and pmbash.

EXAMPLE:

pf_shellcommandsreject = {

};

  pf_checkbuiltins Boolean

Set to true to use shell builtins just like commands.

This only applies to pmksh, pmcsh, and pmsh.

EXAMPLE:

pf_checkbuiltins = true;

  pf_shellreject String

Message to display when a user attempts to run a forbidden command.

This only applies to pmksh, pmcsh, pmsh, and pmbash.

EXAMPLE:

pf_shellreject = "You are not permitted to run this command";

Pre-authorized Commands
  pf_shellallow List

Defines the list of pre-authorized commands allowed by the shell without further authorization by the master. The shell interprets each item in this list as a regular expression. Listed commands do not result in an audit event in the event log.

This only applies to pmksh, pmcsh, pmsh, and pmbash.

EXAMPLE:

pf_shellallow = {

"(^|/)(exit|pwd|echo)$",

};

  pf_shellallowpipe List

Defines the list of pre-authorized commands allowed by the shell without further authorization by the master, but only in the case where std input is from a pipe (for example, ls | more). The shell interprets each item in this list as a regular expression. Listed commands do not result in an audit event in the eventlog.

This only applies to pmksh, pmcsh, pmsh, and pmbash.

EXAMPLE:

pf_shellallowpipe = {

"(^|/)(awk|more|grep)$",

   # allow pipe to innocuous common commands

};

pf_shell_forbid

List

Defines the list of commands rejected by the shell without further authorization by the master. The shell interprets each item in this list as a regular expression. Listed commands do not result in an audit event in the event log.

This only applies to pmksh, pmcsh, pmsh, and pmbash.

EXAMPLE:

pf_shellforbid = {

"(^|/)(passwd|kill|shutdown)$",

   # forbid sensitive commands

"(^|/)(a|b|c|k|z)?sh$",

   # forbid normal shells

"(^|/)(bash|tcsh)$",

   # forbid normal shells

"(^|/)nc$",

   # forbid cmds that allow remote execution

};

Table 11: Where settings
Profile Variable Value Type Explanation
Run Hosts
  pf_authrunhosts List

Hosts where commands can run. If not empty, you can submit commands from any host in this list.

EXAMPLES:

pf_authsubmithosts = {"host1"};

   # allow cmds from host host1 only

pf_authsubmithosts = {"*.one.two"};

   # allow cmds from *.one.two only

pf_authsubmithosts = {ALL};

   # allow cmds from all hosts

SAFEHOSTS = {"*.one.two"};

pf_authsubmithosts = {SAFEHOSTS};

   # allow cmds from *.one.two only

  pf_authrunhostsad List

Active Directory host groups where commands can run. If not empty, you can submit commands from any host in this list. You can specify an Active Directory domain name as part of the arguments; for example, as <domain>/<name>, <domain>\\<name>, or <name>. If a domain is not specified, then it uses the default joined domain.

These lists do not support wild cards.

EXAMPLES:

pf_authrunhostsad = { "TESTDOM1/testhosts1", "TESTDOM2/dbhosts1"};

   # match any member of either AD group

pf_authrunhostsad = { "testhosts1" };

   # match members in the specified AD group in the default joined domain

pf_authrunhostsad = {

   # allow cmds from host host1 only

pf_authsubmithosts = {"*.one.two"};

   # allow cmds from *.one.two only

pf_authsubmithosts = {ALL};

   # allow cmds from all hosts

SAFEHOSTS = {"*.one.two"};

pf_authsubmithosts = {SAFEHOSTS};

   # allow cmds from *.one.two only

  pf_authsubmithostsad List

Active Directory host groups where commands can be submitted. If not empty, you can submit commands from any host in this list. You can specify a domain name as part of the arguments; for example, as <domain>/<name>, <domain>\\<name>, or <name>. If a domain is not specified, then it uses the default joined domain.

These lists do not support wild cards.

EXAMPLES:

pf_authsubmithostsad = { "TESTDOM1/testhosts1", "TESTDOM2/dbhosts1"};

   # match any member of either AD group

pf_authsubmithostsad = { "testhosts1" };

   # match members in the specified AD group

   # in the default joined domain

pf_authsubmithostsad = {

};

   # match no AD groups

Forbidden Run Hosts
  pf_forbidrunhosts List

Hosts where members are forbidden to run commands. If not empty, you can submit commands from any host NOT in this list.

EXAMPLES:

pf_forbidrunhosts = {"fred"}; i

   # allow cmds to all hosts except fred

pf_forbidrunhosts = {"*.one.two"};

   # allow cmds to all hosts except *.one.two

BADHOSTS = {"*.one.two"};

pf_forbidrunhosts = {BADHOSTS};

You can specify a domain name as part of the arguments; for example, as <domain>/<name>, <domain>\\<name>, or <name>. If a domain is not specified, then it uses the default joined domain.

These lists do not support wild cards.

EXAMPLES:

pf_forbidrunhostsad = { "TESTDOM1/testhosts1", "TESTDOM2/dbhosts1"};

   # match any member of either AD group

pf_forbidrunhostsad = { "testhosts1" };

   # match members in the specified AD group in the default joined domain

pf_forbidrunhostsad = { };

   # match no AD groups

Forbidden Submit Hosts
  pf_forbidsubmithosts List

Hosts where members are forbidden to submit commands. If not empty, you can submit commands from any host NOT in this list.

EXAMPLES:

pf_forbidsubmithosts = {"host1"};

   # allow cmds from all hosts except host1

pf_forbidsubmithosts = {"*.one.two"};

   # allow cmds from all hosts except *.one.two

BADHOSTS = {"*.one.two"};

pf_forbidsubmithosts = {BADHOSTS};

   # allow cmds from all hosts except *.one.two

pf_forbidrunhostsad

List

Active Directory host groups where members are forbidden to submit commands. If not empty, you can submit commands from any host NOT in this list. You can specify a domain name as part of the arguments; for example, as <domain>/<name>, <domain>\\<name>, or <name>. If a domain is not specified, then it uses the default joined domain.

These lists do not support wild cards.

EXAMPLES:

pf_forbidrunhostsad = { "TESTDOM1/testhosts1", "TESTDOM2/dbhosts1"};

   # match any member of either AD group

pf_forbidrunhostsad = { "testhosts1" };

pf_forbidrunhostsad = { };

   # match no AD groups

If a member (a user for the group lists, or a host for the hosts lists) is found in both forbid and auth lists, the request is rejected; the forbid list takes precedence.

Table 12: Who settings
Profile variable Value type Explanation
Users
  pf_authusers List

Identifies the list of users that match this profile.

EXAMPLES:

pf_authusers = {

};

   # No users assigned to this profile

pf_authusers = { "jsmith", "dbrown"};

   # match either user

pf_authusers = { ALL};

   # match all users

DBUSERS={"TESTDOM1/fred", "TESTDOM2/john"};

   # allow cmds from /bin,/usr/bin,/tmp

pf_authusers = { "jsmith*", DBUSERS};

   # match fred, john & jsmith*

  pf_authuser String

Identifies the runas user.

EXAMPLE:

pf_authuser = user;

The runas user can be:

  • Any valid user name on the agent, such as:

    pf_authuser = "fred";

       # run command as fred

  • A user variable or empty string ("") to run the command as the submit user; that is, set runuser=user (the default)

    pf_authuser = user;

       # run command as submit user

    pf_authuser = "";

       # run command as submit user

  • The requestuser variable to run the command as the user selected using the pmrun -u user option.

    pf_authuser = requestuser;

       # run command as the requested user

Groups
  pf_authgroups List

You can assign users to this profile by group membership on the client or server host, or by assigning individual user names. By default the group membership is verified against the submit user's group information passed on from the client host by pmrun. You can configure it to verify the group membership on the master host instead, using the pf_useservergroupinfo variable.

EXAMPLES:

pf_authgroups = { "admins", "dbas"};

   # match any member of either group

pf_authgroups = { ALL};

   # match all groups

DBGROUPS = {"db*"};

pf_authgroups = { DBGROUPS, "root"};

   # match all db* groups and root

  pf_authgroup String

If accepted, the request runs with the specified group as the rungroup.

EXAMPLE:

pf_authgroup = use_rungroup;

The rungroup can be:

  • Any valid group name on the agent, such as:

    pf_authgroup ="fred";

       # run command as group fred

  • A group variable or empty string ("") to run the command as the submit group; that is, set rungroup=group (the default)

    pf_authgroup = group;

       # run command as submit group

    pf_authgroup = "";

       # run command as submit group

  • The use_rungroup constant to defer setting the rungroup to pmlocald; pmlocald will obtain the runuser's primary group and use that.

    pf_authgroup = use_rungroup;

       # run command as runuser's group on the agent

  pf_useservergroupinfo Boolean

Set to true to check that the user is a member of one of the pf_authgroups on the master host, otherwise check the user's group membership on the client host.

EXAMPLE:

pf_useservergroupinfo = false;

AD Groups

pf_authgroupsad

List

Identifies the list of non Unix-enabled AD groups that match this profile. Use the format: <domain>/<name, <domain>\\<name>, or <name>. If you do not specify the domain, it uses the default joined domain.

This list does not support wild cards.

EXAMPLES:

pf_authgroupsad = { "TESTDOM1/testgroup1", "TESTDOM2/dbgroup1"};

   # match any member of either AD group

pf_authgroupsad = { };

   # match no AD groups

Table 13: When settings
Profile Variable Value Type Explanation
Time Restrictions
  pf_enabletimerestrictions Boolean

Set to true to enforce the time restrictions in the restrictionHours list.

EXAMPLE:

pf_enabletimerestrictions = true;

  pf_restrictionhours List

Start and End time of allowed time period. Set to "*" or empty string to disable time restrictions. Use 24-hour format, with no leading zero.

EXAMPLES:

pf_restrictionhours = {"8:00", "18:00};

   # 8am - 8pm

pf_restrictionhours = {"22:00", "07:00};

   # 10pm - 7am

pf_restrictionhours = {"", ""};

   # no restrictions

pf_restrictionhours = {"*", "*"};

   # no restrictions

  pf_restrictiondates List

Configures the actual date restrictions applied if pf_enabletimerestrictions is set to true. Specify Start and End dates using yyyy/mm/dd format.

EXAMPLES:

pf_restrictiondates = {"2012/01/01", ""};

   # no expiry

pf_restrictiondates = {"", "2012/01/01"};

   # no start date

pf_restrictiondates = {"2012/01/01", "2012/12/31"};

   # check start and end date

pf_restrictiondates = {"", ""};

   # no restrictions

pf_restrictiondates = {"*", "*"};

   # no restrictions

pf_restrictiondow

List

Configures the day of the week restrictions applied if pf_enabletimerestrictions is set to true. Specify Days in any order using the lower case 3-letter abbreviation {"fri","sat","sun","mon","tue","wed","thu"};

EXAMPLES:

pf_restrictiondow = {"mon","tue","wed","thu","fri"};

   # weekdays only

pf_restrictiondow = {"fri","sat","sun","mon","tue","wed","thu"};

   # all days

pf_restrictiondow = {};

   # no restrictions

Table 14: How settings
Profile variable Value type Explanation
Shell Settings
  pf_allowshells List

List of allowed shells. Do not specify full paths. This list is not compared with the runcommand, instead it is compared with the special pmshell_prog variable set by a Privilege Manager for Unix shell.

Only applies to pmksh, pmcsh, pmsh, pmbash, and pmshellwrapper.

EXAMPLE:

pf_allowshells ={"pmksh", "pmcsh", "pmsh", "pmshellwrapper"};

  pf_restricted Boolean

Set to true to run the shell in restricted mode.

This means:

  • user cannot change directory
  • user cannot change PATH, ENV, SHELL
  • user can only run programs in PATH
  • no absolute/relative paths allowed
  • user cannot use io redirection with the '>' or '<' characters

Only applies to pmksh, pmcsh, pmsh, and pmbash.

EXAMPLE:

pf_restricted = true;

  pf_shellreadonly List

List of environment variables to treat as read-only. In restricted mode, the PATH, ENV, and SHELL variables are always read-only.

Only applies to pmksh, pmcsh, pmsh, and pmbash.

EXAMPLE:

pf_shellreadonly = {};

  pf_shellcwd Sting

Defines the initial directory where the shell program will be run. The default is to use the runuser's home directory. This is particularly relevant for shells running in restricted mode, where the user cannot change the directory.

This only applies to pmksh, pmcsh, pmsh, and pmbash.

EXAMPLE:

pf_shellcwd = use_rundir;

pf_shellpath

String

Defines the PATH that will be applied for the shell session. The default is to set standard paths, and add the runuser's home directory, and the current directory. This is particularly relevant for shells running in restricted mode, where the user cannot change the PATH, and can only run commands relative to the configured PATH.

This only applies to pmksh, pmcsh, pmsh, and pmbash.

EXAMPLE:

pf_shellpath = {

"/usr/bin",

"/bin",

use_rundir,

".",

};

Exploring profiles

To understand what happens when the Privilege Manager for Unix policy server receives a request, let's assume the default profile-based policy (pmpolicy) has been configured and user jbloggs issued a pmrun id command from host qpmhost01.

A pmmasterd process on the policy server receives the request, and pmrun sends it details about the request which are recorded as event variables (for example, user="jbloggs", command="id", submithost="qpmhost01", runhost="qpmhost01", date="2013/01/01", time="15:00:00").

With instructions from the code in profileBasedPolicy.conf, pmmasterd looks through each of the profiles until it finds a match between the profile variables (such as, pf_authusers) and the corresponding variables from the request (such as, user).

Note that pmshell and pmshellwrapper requests (such as, pmksh or pmshellwrapper_bash), the code directs pmmasterd to look through the shell profiles instead.

The default profile-based policy (pmpolicy) comes with four profiles: admin, demo, helpdesk, and webadmin.

  • The admin profile is skipped because its pf_authusers lists only includes the root user.
  • The helpdesk and webadmin profiles are disabled because their pf_enableprofile variables are set to false.
  • This only leaves the demo profile, which is listed below.
################################################################################

"/bin", 
}; 

# permit id with any number of args (or none) 
# permit whoami, only if run with no args 
pf_authcmds={ 
"id **", 
"whoami", 
};

The demo profile is selected because the who, what, where, and when criteria match the request.

Table 15: Matching the request to the demo profile
Criteria Demo Profile Variables Request Event Variables Match?
Who

pf_authusers={ALL};

user="jbloggs"

Yes
What

pf_authcmds= {"id **", "whoami"}; pf_authpaths= {"/usr/bin","/bin");

command="id"

(n/a, path validated by pmlocald)

Yes
Where

pf_authsubmithosts={ALL}; pf_autrunhosts={ALL};

submithost="qpmhost01" runhost="qpmhost01"

Yes

When

pf_restrictionhours= {"07:00:00","19:00:00};

time="15:00:00"

Yes

The policy is not able to validate the command path against pf_authpaths, since an absolute path to the command was not provided with the request. Because of this, pmmasterd accepts the request without checking the path, and leaves pf_authpaths to be validated by the pmlocald.

Once the policy selects a profile, other profile variables may affect how requests are processed. For example, pf_enableauthentication specifies whether password authentication is required.

If the root user issued the same pmrun request, the admin profile would have been selected. Even though both the admin and demo profiles match the request, the admin profile matches first.

Customizing the default profile-based policy (pmpolicy)

The default profile-based policy (pmpolicy) includes a profile_customer_policy.conf file, which you may edit to include customized policy code. This policy file defines the following stub functions and procedures that allow your custom code to run at specific points during the policy evaluation.

fn_customer_init()

This function is called once per policy evaluation, at the start of the policy's main body (located near the end of the profileBasedPolicy.conf file), just after the policy includes the profile_customer_policy.conf file.

fn_custom_profile_init()

This function is called after matching the user or group to a profile (or shell profile) but before checking anything else. You can find the function in procedure pr_processProfile() in the profileBasedPolicy.conf file.

This function can cause the current profile selection to fail by returning a false value.

pr_custom_profile_reset()

Use this procedure to reset custom profile variables added to the profile_customer_policy.conf file. This procedure is called when the profile match fails.

fn_log_and_accept_custom()

This function is called just before the request is accepted, after the request has been successfully matched to a profile. The function is called from the fn_log_and_accept() function in the profileBaseProfile.conf file.
