About this release
Privilege Manager for Unix protects the full power of root from potential misuse or abuse. With Privilege Manager for Unix there is no need to worry about anyone deleting critical files, modifying file permissions or databases, reformatting disks, or doing more subtle damage. Privilege Manager for Unix enables you to define a security policy that stipulates who has access to which root functions, as well as when and where they can perform those functions. It controls access to existing programs as well as purpose-built utilities that run common system administration tasks. At the administrator's request, Privilege Manager for Unix can protect sensitive data from network monitoring by encrypting the root commands or sessions it controls, including control messages and input keyed by users while running commands through Privilege Manager for Unix.
Privilege Manager for Unix 7.0 is a major release that provides updated platform support and new features.
NOTE: Beginning with version 7.0, Privilege Manager for Unix supports only Linux-based systems for Privilege Manager for Unix policy servers.
New features in Privilege Manager for Unix 7.0:
- Added Sudo IO log streaming
- Enhanced the policy converter
- Added Sudo Client support for pmpolicy
The following features are no longer supported beginning with this release:
-
Management Console for Unix: After careful consideration, One Identity has decided to cease the development of the Management Console for Unix (MCU). Therefore, the MCU will enter limited support for all versions on April 1, 2021. Support for all versions will reach end of life on Nov 1, 2021. For definitions of support, see the Software Product Support Lifecycle Policy.
As One Identity retires the MCU, we are building its feature set into modern platforms starting with Software Distribution and Profiling. Customers that use the MCU to deploy Authentication Services and Privilege Manager for Unix can now use our Ansible collections for those products, which can be found at Ansible Galaxy. Future releases of Privilege Manager for Unix will include other MCU features such as reporting, policy editing, and IOlog viewing and searching. If you are interested in receiving more information about these upcoming features, please contact your sales representative.
