Installing the Privilege Manager for Unix packages

After you make sure your primary policy server host meets the system requirements, you are ready to install the Privilege Manager for Unix packages.

To install the Privilege Manager for Unix packages

  1. From the command line of the host designated as your primary policy server, run the platform-specific installer. For example, run: 
    # rpm –-install qpm-server-*.rpm

    The Solaris server has a filename that starts with QSFTpmsrv.

    When you install the qpm-server package, it installs all three Privilege Manager for Unix components on that host: the Privilege Manager for Unix Policy Server, the PM Agent, and the Sudo Plugin.

For details instructions on installing and configuring Safeguard for Sudo, see the One Identity Safeguard for Sudo Administration Guide.

Modifying PATH environment variable

After you install the primary policy server, you may want to update your PATH to include the Privilege Manager for Unix commands.

To modify the user's PATH environment variable

  1. If you are a Privilege Manager for Unix administrator, add these quest-specific directories to your PATH environment: 
    /opt/quest/bin:/opt/quest/sbin
  2. If you are a Privilege Manager for Unix user, add this path to your PATH environment: 
    /opt/quest/bin

Configuring the primary policy server for Privilege Manager for Unix

Once you install the Privilege Manager for Unix server packages, the next task is to configure the primary policy server. The first policy server you setup is the primary policy server.

To configure the primary policy server for a pmpolicy type

  1. From the command line of the primary policy server host, run: 
    # /opt/quest/sbin/pmsrvconfig -m pmpolicy

    The pmsrvconfig command supports many command-line options; see pmsrvconfig for details or run pmsrvconfig with the -h option to display the help.

    When you run pmsrvconfig with the -i (interactive) option, the configuration script gathers information from you by asking you a series of questions. During this interview, you are allowed to either accept a default setting or set an alternate setting.

    Once you have completed the policy server configuration script interview, it configures the policy server.

  2. When you run pmsrvconfig for the first time, it asks you to read and accept the End User License Agreement (EULA).
  3. Enter a password for the new pmpolicy service account and confirm it. This password is also called the "Join" password. You will use this password when you add secondary policy servers or join remote hosts to this policy group.

    The configuration process:

    • Creates the /etc/opt/quest/qpm4u/pm.settings file, which contains various parameters and settings
    • Installs service entries in the /etc/services file, which contains unique port numbers for pmmasterd and pmlocald
    • Generates a SSH key for log access
    • Generates the master policy, a profile-based policy
    • Creates the SVN database repository for the master policy
    • Checks out a production copy of the master policy
    • Performs a syntax check of the master policy
    • Starts the Privilege Manager for Unix service (pmserviced). See pmserviced for details.
    • Reloads the pmloadcheck configuration. See pmloadcheck for details.

pmpolicy server configuration settings

When you run pmsrvconfig with the -i (interactive) option, the configuration script gathers information from you by asking you a series of questions. During this interview, you are allowed to either accept a default setting or set an alternate setting.

The configuration script first asks you to read and accept the End User License Agreement (EULA). The second question asks if you want to configure the server as a sudo or a pmpolicy type server; the default is sudo. See Security policy types for more information about policy types. Depending on which type of server you are configuring the interview asks different questions.

The following table lists the default and alternative configuration settings when configuring a pmpolicy server. See PM settings variables for more information about the policy server configuration settings.

Table 4: pmpolicy server configuration settings
Configuration setting Default Alternate
Configure Privilege Manager for Unix Policy Mode
Configure host as primary or secondary policy group server: primary

Enter secondary, then supply the primary server host name.

Set Policy Group Name: <FQDN name of policy server> Enter Policy Group Name of your choice.
Policy mode:

See Security policy types for more information about policy types.

Sets policymode in pm.settings. (Policy "modes" are the same as policy "types" in the console.)

sudo

Enter pmpolicy

Configure Security Policy
Initialize the security policy? YES

Enter No

Configure Privilege Manager for Unix Daemon Settings

Policy server command line options:

Sets pmmasterdopts in pm.settings.

-ar

Enter:

  • -a to send job acceptance messages to syslog.
  • -e <logfile> to use the error log file identified by <logfile>.
  • -r to send job rejection messages to syslog.

  • -s to send error messages to syslog. none to assign no options.

    -a, -r, and -s override syslog no option; -e <logfile> overrides the pmmasterdlog <logfile> option.

Enable remote access functions?

Sets clients in pm.settings.

 NO

Does not make system information on this host available to policy servers located on other hosts.

Enter Yes to allow remote policy servers to connect to this primary policy server for remote I/O logging, or to access functions in the policy file.

Entering Yes allows you to list remote hosts.

If Yes, list of remote hosts allowed to connect to this policy server? NO Enter Yes, then add remote hosts to list.
Configure host as a PM Agent? NO Enter Yes, then configure command line options.
If Yes, configure command line options for the agent daemon? pmlocaldopts is not set

Enter:

  • -s to send error messages to syslog.
  • -e <logfile> to use the error log file identified by <logfile>.
  • -m to only accept connections from the policy server daemon on the specified host. (Use Multiple -m options to specify more than one host.)
  • none to assign no options.

These command-line options override the syslog and pmmasterdlog options configured in the pm.settings file.

Configure pmlocald on this host? NO Enter Yes
Configure policy server host components to communicate with remote hosts through firewall? NO Enter Yes
Configure pmtunneld on this host? NO Enter Yes
