exitstatus

Description

Type string READONLY

exitstatus contains the exit status of the runcommand. This variable is not available for use in the policy file. It is logged in the "Finish" event by the Sudo Plugin when the session ends.

Example
#Display all sh commands that failed to complete successfully
pmlog –c 'runcommand == "sh" && exitstatus != "Command finished with exit status 0"'

exitdate

exittime

exittime

Description
Type string READONLY

exittime is the time the requested command finished running (HH:MM:SS)

Example
#display all commands that finished after 6pm 
pmlog –c 'exittime > "18:00:00"'

PM settings variables

This section describes the settings and parameters used by Safeguard. 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. See Configuring the Safeguard for Sudo Primary Policy Server 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 Sudo Plugin. Many of these settings will not have a default value.

The variables are not case sensitive.

Table 13: 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.

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.

fwexternalhosts list Identifies a list of hosts to use a different range of source ports, identified by the openreservedport and opennonreserved port settings.
getpasswordfromrun boolean (YES/NO)

Determines whether authentication is performed on the policy server or the client when a getuserpasswd() or getgrouppasswd() function is called from the policy file. If set to yes, the authentication is performed on the client.

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)

Enables the encryption negotiation handshake. This allows a policy server to support clients running different levels of encryption.

Default: NO

kerberos boolean (YES/NO)

Enables or disables Kerberos.

maxofflinelogs integer

Sets the maximum number of offline keystroke or event logs that can be transferred to a policy server in a single transaction. If defined on the policy server, pmmasterd on the server only accepts that number of offline logs from a client in a single request.

Sets the Kerberos service principal name to use for the policy server.

Default: host

nicevalue integer

Sets the execution priority level for Safeguard processes.

Default: 0

offlinetimeout integer

Sets the timeout in milliseconds before an off-line policy evaluation occurs on a Sudo Plugin host.

setutmp boolean (YES/NO)

Specifies whether pmpluginadds a utmp entry for the request.

Default: YES

shortnames boolean (YES/NO)

Enables or disables short names usage. Setting shortnames to yes allows the use of short (non-fully qualified) host names. If set to no, then the Safeguard components will attempt to resolve all host names to a fully qualified host name.

Default: YES

Default: YES

For more information, see Local logging.

thishost string

Sets the client's host name to use for verification. Specifying a thishost setting causes the Privilege Manager components to bind network requests to the specified host name or IP address. If you set thishost to the underscore character ( _ ), requests bind to the host's primary host name.

No default value.

tunnelport integer

Sets the TCP/IP port to use for the pmtunneld daemon.

Default: 12347

For more information, see Configuring pmtunneld.

tunnelrunhosts list Identifies the hosts on the other side of a firewall.

To log an entry to utmp, specify "setutmp yes".

These settings only take effect if the sudoers policy allocates a pty.

A pseudo-tty is allocated by sudo when the log_input, log_output or use_pty flags are enabled in sudoers policy.

Default: submituser

validmasters

list

Identifies a list of policy servers that can be identified using the pmrun –m <master> option, but that will not be used when you run a normal pmrun command. This is useful for testing connections to a policy server before bringing it on line.
