Prior to installing Safeguard, ensure your system meets the minimum hardware and software requirements for your platform.
Component | Requirements |
---|---|
Operating systems |
See Supported platforms to review a list of platforms that support Safeguard clients. |
Disk space |
80 MB of disk space for program binaries and manuals for each architecture. Considerations:
|
SSH software |
You must install and configure SSH client and server software on all policy server hosts. You must also install SSH client software on all hosts that will use the Sudo Plugin. You must enable access to SSH as the root user on the policy server hosts during configuration of the policy servers. Both OpenSSH 4.3 (and later) and Tectia SSH 6.4 (and later) are supported. |
Processor | Policy Servers: 4 cores |
Policy Servers: 4GB |
Systems Required | Minimum Requirements |
---|---|
Primary Policy Server |
|
|
Configure the firewall ports appropriately when installing the Sudo Plugin on separate machines from the policy server.
Variable | Default Port | Description |
---|---|---|
TCP/IP port for pmmasterd. Safeguard uses the masterport to communicate with the pmmasterd (policy server daemon). |
The following table provides a list of supported platforms for Safeguard clients.
NOTE: Beginning with version 7.1.1, Safeguard for Sudo supports only Linux-based systems for Safeguard policy servers.

Reserve the following names for Safeguard usage:
For more information, see Reserve special user and group names.
You will need root privileges to install Safeguard software. Either log in as root or use the su program to acquire root privileges. Due to the importance of the root account, Safeguard carefully protects the system against certain accidental or deliberate situations that might lead to a breach in security. For example, if Safeguard discovers that its configuration files are open to modification by non-root users, it will reject all job requests. Furthermore, all Safeguard directories back to the / directory are checked for security in the same way, to guard against accidental or deliberate replacement.
