This section describes the settings and parameters used by Safeguard for Sudo. 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 either the pmsrvconfig or pmjoin_plugin commands; or you can modify the pm.settings file manually. For details about running the configuration script, see Configuring the Safeguard for Sudo Primary Policy Server.
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 Sudo Plugin. Many of these settings will not have a default value.
The variables are not case sensitive.
| Variable | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
auditsrvCAbundle |

|
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 |

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 |

|
auditsrvKeepalive |
boolean (YES/NO) |
Select whether keepalive is enabled on the connection. |

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.

$ pmauditsrv -h Usage: pmauditsrv [-h] [-v] [-z on|off] Usage: pmauditsrv check|send [ -o <serverlist> ] [ -b <ca_bundle_file> ] [ -k <privatekey_file> ] [ -c <certificate_file> ] [ -s ]
Use pmauditsrv for the following:
pmauditsrv verifies that the configured audit servers are accessible and configured properly. This includes verifying that certificates and keys are configured properly for TLS communication, if enabled. pmauditsrv exchanges a "hello" message with the server.
When the policy server is configured for "not enforced mode" and the audit server is not accessible, pmauditsrv can be used to store the event logs and keystroke (IO) logs temporarily offline. pmauditsrv sends the logs to the audit server once it is available. If the connection to the audit server was broken in the middle of the command run and the log is a partial log, the log will be sent to the same server that received the first part of the message. Logs which are not partial logs are sent to the audit servers according to the actual configuration. Changing the auditserver configurations can solve transferring full but not partial logs.
By default, the pmloadcheck program executes pmauditsrv in every 30 minutes to transfer any audit trail files found in the configured cache directory to the audit server. If the file can not be processed (for example, the file is corrupt), pmauditsrv moves the file into a subdirectory (quarantine).
pmauditsrv can be called manually for troubleshooting an issue.
With command ’check’ .B, pmauditsrv can be also used to check connection to the configured audit servers or the server specified with command line arguments.
Errors logs are stored in /var/log/pmmasterd.log.
pmauditsrv has the following options.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
|
-h |
Display a help usage information and exit. |
|
-v |
Display the version number of the pmauditsrv program and exit. |
|
-z on | off |
Turn debug tracing on or off, then exit. |
|
-o <serverlist> |
Specify audit servers. Format: addr1:port1..addrn:portn where addr is either IP or hostname. |
|
-b <ca_bundle_ file> |
Specify CA bundle file for TLS connection. |
|
-k <privatekey_ file> |
Specify private key file for TLS connection |
|
-c <certificate_ file> |
Specify certificate file for TLS connection |
|
-s |
Redirects all error messages to the syslog. |
