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 Safeguard 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 44: Options: pmsrvcheck
Option Description
--cvs Displays csv, rather than human-readable output.
--help Displays usage information.
--pmpolicy Verifies that Safeguard 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 Safeguard version number and exits.

pmsrvconfig

Syntax
pmsrvconfig -h | --help [-abipqtv] [-d <variable>=<value>] [-f <path>] 
            [-l <license_file>] [-m sudo | pmpolicy] [-n <group_name> | -s <hostname>] [-bpvx] -u [--accept] [--batch] [--define <variable>=<value>] [--import <path>] [--interactive] [--license <license_file>]
            [--name <group_name> | --secondary <hostname>] [--pipestdin] [--plugin] [--policymode sudo | pmpolicy]
[--unix [<policy_server_host> ...]] [--verbose] [--batch]
         [--plugin] [--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 45: 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.

-p | --plugin

Configures the Sudo Plugin.

This option is only available when using the sudo policy type (Safeguard for Sudo).

-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.

-u | --unconfig

Unconfigures a Privilege Manager for Unix server.

-v | --verbose

Displays verbose output while configuring the host.

-N policy_name | --policyname policy_name

When configuring the plugin, use policy_name as the name of the policy instead of the default. This option is used to specify the name of the policy that the server should use when making policy decisions.

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.

Table 46: Options: pmsrvinfo
Option Description
-c Displays information in .CSV format, instead of human readable output.

-l

By using this option, you can detect which client uses which sudo policy on the policy server. This option lists the following client information from the policy server:

  • Client's hostname

  • Sudoers file used by the client

  • Client's version

This option can be used together with the "-c" option.

-v

Displays the Safeguard version number and exits.
