Next generation single-system management on HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23)

HP-UX Security Attributes Configuration tool

Overview

The HP-UX Security Attributes Configuration tool (secweb) is introduced in the HP-UX 11i v2 May

2005 update release to perform the following tasks without converting the HP-UX system to the trusted

mode:

• View and configure system-wide values of security attributes from the System Defaults tab. It has a

set of default security values, which can be modified by this tool.

• View and configure per-user values of security attributes of local users from the Local Users tab.

These attributes have the system wide attribute values as their defaults, which can be modified by

this tool.

• View and configure per-user values of security attributes of NIS users from the NIS Users tab. These

attributes have the system-wide attribute values as their defaults, which be modified by this tool.

NOTE

Install the Standard Mode Security Extensions software (Product Name:

TSMigration) that is part of the StdModSecExt bundle to run secweb on

HP-UX. For more information, see the HP-UX Standard Mode Security

Extensions Release Notes on

http://docs.hp.com/en/internet.html.

System administrators can also manage security attributes of users from ugweb because secweb is

tightly integrated with the Accounts for Users and Groups tool. This tool can be launched by running

the secweb(1M) command at the HP-UX command line prompt.
