pmsrvcheck

Syntax
pmsrvcheck --csv [ --verbose ] | --help | --pmpolicy | --primary | --secondary
Description

Use pmsrvcheck to verify that a policy server is setup properly. It produces output in either human-readable or CSV format similar to that produced by the preflight program.

The pmsrvcheck command checks:

  • that the host is configured as a primary policy server and has a valid repository

  • has a valid, up-to-date, checked-out copy of the repository

  • has access to update the repository

  • has a current valid Privilege Manager for Unix license

  • pmmasterd is correctly configured

  • pmmasterd can accept connections

pmsrvcheck produces output in either human-readable or CSV format similar to the pre-flight output.

Options

pmsrvcheck has the following options.

Table 87: Options: pmsrvcheck
Option Description

--cvs

Displays csv, rather than human-readable output.

--help

Displays usage information.

--pmpolicy

Verifies that Privilege Manager for Unix policy is in use by the policy servers.

--primary

Verifies a primary policy server.

--secondary

Verifies a secondary policy server.

--verbose

Displays verbose output while checking the host.

--version

Displays the Privilege Manager for Unix version number and exits.

Syntax
pmsrvconfig -h | --help [-abipqtv] [-d <variable>=<value>] [-f <path>]

	          [--unix] [-- verbose] --unconfig -N policy_name [--policyname policy_name]
Description

Use the pmsrvconfig command to configure or reconfigure a policy server. You can run it in interactive or batch mode to configure a primary or secondary policy server.

Options

pmsrvconfig has the following options.

Table 88: Options: pmsrvconfig
Option Description

-a | --accept

Accepts the End User License Agreement (EULA), /opt/quest/qpm4u/qpm4u_eula.txt.

-b | --batch

Runs in batch mode; does not use colors or require user input.

-d <variable>=<value> | --define <variable>=<value>

Specifies a variable for the pm.settings file and its associated value.

-h | --help

Displays usage information.

-i | --interactive

Runs in interactive mode; prompts for configuration parameters instead of using the default values.

-f <path> | --import <path>

Imports policy data from the specified path.

  • Privilege Manager for Unix: The path may be set to either a file or a directory when using the pmpolicy type.

  • Safeguard for Sudo: The path must be set to a file when using the sudo policy type.

-l | --license <license_file>

Specifies the full pathname of an .xml license file. You can specify this option multiple times with different license files.

-m sudo | pmpolicy | --policymode sudo | pmpolicy

Specifies the type of security policy:

  • sudo

  • pmpolicy

Default: sudo

-n | --name <group_name>

Uses group_name as the policy server group name.

-q | --pipestdin

Pipes password to stdin if password is required.

-s | --secondary <hostname>

Configures host to be a secondary policy server where hostname is the primary policy server.

-S | --selinux

Enable support for SELinux in Privilege Manager for Unix.

An SELinux policy module will be installed, which allows the pmlocal daemon to set the security context to that of the run user when executing commands. This requires that the policycoreutils package and either the selinux-policy-devel (RHEL7 and above) or selinux-policy (RHEL6 and below) packages be installed.

-t | --tunnel

Configures host to allow Privilege Manager for Unix connections through a firewall.

This option is only available when using the pmpolicy policy type (Privilege Manager for Unix).

-u | --unconfig

Unconfigures a Privilege Manager for Unix server.

-v | --verbose

Displays verbose output while configuring the host.

-x | --unix [policy_server_host ...]

Configures Privilege Manager for Unix on the local policy server; that is, configures pmlocald and pmrun to run on this host. If you do not specify a policy server host, it uses the local host name.

This option is only available when using the pmpolicy policy type (Privilege Manager for Unix).

Examples

The following example accepts the End User License Agreement (EULA) and imports the sudoers file from /root/tmp/sudoers as the initial policy:

# pmsrvconfig -a -f /root/tmp/sudoers

By using the -a option, you are accepting the terms and obligations of the EULA in full.

By default, the primary policy server you configure uses the host name as the policy server group name. To provide your own group name, use the -n command option, like this:

# pmsrvconfig -a -n <MyPolicyGroup>

where <MyPolicyGroup> is the name of your policy group.

Option Description

-c

Displays information in .CSV format, instead of human readable output.

-v

pmstatus

Syntax
pmstatus [-v] [-p <port>] [-h <hostname>] [-f <hostfile>] [-o <outfile>]
Description

The pmstatus program checks connectivity between Privilege Manager for Unix and pmlocald and pmmasterd on the specified hosts. You must specify at least one host, using either the -h or -f option.

Options

pmstatus has the following options.

Table 90: Options: pmstatus
Option Description

-f <hostfile>

Specifies the name of a file containing a list of hosts to check.

-h <hostname>

Specifies the name of the host to check. -h supercedes -f if you specify both options.

-o <outfile>

Writes status information to the specified file.

-p <port>

Specifies an alternative port to use when checking for connectivity with pmmasterd.

-v

Displays version information for the pmstatus program.

Examples

The following is an example of the output from pmstatus, if the command is directed at a host that is contactable and that contains Privilege Manager for Unix components:

[root@sdfbs02p linux-intel]# ./pmstatus -h sdfbs07p 
Master process on sdfbs07p:12345 responded 
Agent process on sdfbs07p:12346 responded 

The following is an example of the output from pmstatus, if the command is directed at a host that is contactable, but does not contain any Privilege Manager for Unix components:

[root@sdfbs02p linux-intel]# ./pmstatus -h sdfbs07p 
pmstatus5.0.2 (006): 3003 Could not connect to a master daemon for sdfbs07p 
No master process responded on sdfbs07p:12345 
pmstatus5.0.2 (006): 3001 Connection to pmlocald on sdfbs07p failed: Connection refused 
No agent process responded on sdfbs07p:12346
