[ ] [ ]
DESCRIPTION
The HP-UX Auditing and Security Attributes Configuration tool ( ) is
used to configure suditing sub-system and, view and configure system-
wide and per-user (Local users and NIS users) values of security
attributes. It also gives information about account locks.
The HP-UX Auditing and Security Attributes Configuration tool provides
both Web-based and terminal user interface (for Security Attributes
Configuration only). The Web-based interface is launched through the
HP System Management Homepage.
Superuser privileges are required to access the HP-UX Auditing and
Security Attributes Configuration tool. A user who does not have supe‐
ruser privileges has read-only access to the System Defaults area in
the HP-UX Auditing and Security Attributes Configuration tool and can‐
not modify or reset per-user values.
The terminal user interface is invoked if any of the following condi‐
tions are true:
· The command is invoked with option.
· The environment variable is not set.
The Web-based interface is launched if all the following conditions are
true:
· The command is invoked with option.
· The environment variable is set.
· The command is available on the system.
If the Web-based interface cannot be launched, invokes the terminal
user interface.
Options
recognizes the following options:
Forces a client browser to be used in less secure ways.
The option forces the client browser to be used or
started, even when the X-traffic between the X-server
and the Mozilla browser is not secure.
Use this option only when you are sure the network
traffic between the host where Mozilla is running and
the host in the DISPLAY variable is secure.
If cannot start the Web browser, the terminal inter‐
face is started.
When the HP-UX Auditing and Security Attributes Con‐
figuration Web interface is invoked by SAM, the option
is used.
If a privileged user (root) executes the
command with the option, a temporary login bypass key
is generated. The bypass key enables the user to
access the Web interface without having to provide
login information again.
When the HP-UX Auditing and Security Attributes Con‐
figuration Web interface is invoked by SAM, the option
is used.
Opens the terminal interface for setting system-wide and
per-user values of security attributes regardless of
the current setting of the environment variable.
