Symbolic Link policy

A symbolic link is a pointer to another file or directory. This policy manages symbolic links (symlinks) on Unix. Administrators can configure a set of symlinks that are created when policy is applied. Symbolic link entries are append only and cannot be overridden. However, if there is more than one of the exact same entry, the link will be created only once.

Symbolic links can be used to simplify other policies where file locations may differ from system to system. You can use the Symbolic Link policy to create a more uniform file system environment for running commands or modifying files. Be sure that the Unix Settings Extension is processed before any other CSEs that might need symlink functionality. You can control this with the Client-Side Extensions policy.

Setting a new symbolic link

To set a new symbolic link

  1. Start Group Policy Editor.
  2. Select Unix Settings | Authentication Services | Client Configuration in the scope view.
  3. Double click Symbolic Links.

    The Symbolic Links Properties dialog opens.

  4. Click Add.

    The Symbolic Link dialog opens.

  5. In the Existing File field, type the full Unix path to the file or directory to link to.
  6. In the Symbolic Link field, type the full Unix path where you want to create the link.

    Note: If the link target does not exist on the Unix host, it does not create the symbolic link.

  7. Click OK.

Syslog policy

You can configure which entries go into the Unix syslog configuration file. Syslog entries are appended to the log and cannot be overridden. However, if there is a duplicate entry, it is only added once to /etc/syslog.conf.

Adding a syslog entry

To add a syslog entry

  1. Start Group Policy Editor.
  2. Select Unix Settings | Authentication Services | Client Configuration in the scope view.
  3. Double click Syslog.

    The Syslog Configuration Properties dialog opens.

  4. Click Add.

    The Syslog Rule dialog opens.

  5. In the Action field, type the syslog action target; enter a file path, a user list, or a host name depending on the type of action you select.
    • Regular File: Enter the absolute Unix file path to the syslog.conf file. The path must start with a "/".
    • Remote Host: Enter a host name to send the data remotely over to the syslog daemon running on the other machine.
    • User List: Enter a comma delimited list of users. When you select the User List option, it enables the Find button. Click Find to open the Active Directory Select Users dialog.
  6. Select the type of action: Regular File, Remote Host, or User List.
  7. In the Selector section:
    • Choose a facility.

      The Facility is the type of message you want to log.

    • Choose a priority.

      When you select a syslog Priority, it selects that priority plus all priorities listed below it.

      Note: To log to a specific priority only on a Linux platform, click Edit and add "=" before the priority name.

    • Click Insert to append these selections to the rule.
  8. Append additional facilities and priorities, as necessary.
  9. Click OK to return to the Syslog Configuration Properties dialog.
  10. Check the Remove local configuration option if you want to replace the syslog file with the new settings. If you leave this option deselected, the new settings are appended to the current syslog file.

    Note: If you select the Remove local configuration option, it backs up the old configuration file before it deletes it and applies the new policy.

  11. Click OK.
