Configuring Privilege Manager configuration settings

To configure Privilege Manager configuration settings

  1. In the Group Policy Object Editor, navigate to Unix Settings | Quest Privilege Manager.
  2. Double-click Privilege Manager Configuration.

    The Privilege Manager Configuration Properties dialog opens.

  3. Locate the setting you want to configure.

    Browse the list or type the setting name (or part of the name) in the search box and click Search.

  4. Enter the desired value for the setting.

    It displays additional information related to the setting in a help box at the bottom of the dialog. The help box is re-sizable using the splitter bar between the settings list and the help text.

  5. Click OK to save the settings and close the dialog.

Safeguard Authentication Services group policies

The Group Policy Configuration policy manages the vgp.conf file so that you can centrally manage the configuration options of your Group Policy agents.

Group Policy Configuration policy

The Group Policy Configuration policy allows you to manage the options that control the Unix Group Policy agent. On Unix these options are stored in the /etc/opt/quest/vgp/vgp.conf file.

Group Policy Configuration policies support non-tattooing, block inheritance, ACL filtering, and enforced settings. Policies applied later do not override enforced settings. When you unlink all Group Policy Configuration policies, the next GPO processing event restores the configuration file to its previous state.

Configuring Group Policy options

To configure Group Policy options

  1. Start Group Policy Editor.
  2. Navigate to the Unix Settings | Authentication Services | Client Configuration node.
  3. Double-click Group Policy Configuration in the results view to open the Group Policy Configuration Properties dialog.

    The Properties dialog contains a list of configuration settings.

  4. Enter the configuration settings. Detailed help text is available for each setting. You can resize the help window using the splitter control between the settings and the help text.
  5. Click OK.

    Note: Options that are not set (blank) use the default value defined by Group Policy. Any options that are set in the policy override local settings stored in the configuration file.
