secweb - invokes the HP-UX Auditing and Security Attributes Configuration tool
SYNOPSIS
secweb [ -F ][-b
]
secweb -t
DESCRIPTION
The HP-UX Auditing and Security Attributes Configuration tool (
secweb) is used to configure suditing
sub-system and, view and configure system-wide and per-user (Local users and NIS users) values of secu-
rity 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 superuser privileges has read-only access to the System Defaults area in
the HP-UX Auditing and Security Attributes Configuration tool and cannot modify or reset per-user
values.
The terminal user interface is invoked if any of the following conditions are true:
• The command
/usr/sbin/secweb
is invoked with -t option.
• The
DISPLAY environment variable is not set.
The Web-based interface is launched if all the following conditions are true:
• The command
/usr/sbin/secweb
is invoked with -F option.
• The
DISPLAY environment variable is set.
• The command
/opt/hpsmh/lbin/samweb
is available on the system.
If the Web-based interface cannot be launched,
secweb invokes the terminal user interface.
Options
secweb recognizes the following options:
-F Forces a client browser to be used in less secure ways.
The
-F 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
secweb cannot start the Web browser, the terminal interface is started.
When the HP-UX Auditing and Security Attributes Configuration Web interface is
invoked by SAM, the
-F option is used.
-b If a privileged user (root) executes the secweb command with the -b option, a tem-
porary 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 Configuration Web interface is
invoked by SAM, the
-b option is used.
-t Opens the terminal interface for setting system-wide and per-user values of security
attributes regardless of the current setting of the DISPLAY environment variable.
Note: You can also start the HP-UX Auditing and Security Attributes Configuration tool using one of
the following methods:
• Invoke
/usr/sbin/sam and select the Auditing and Security Attributes Configuration (charac-
ter mode) functional area to launch the terminal user interface and the Auditing and Security
Attributes Configuration (Web-based Interface) to launch the Web-based tool
• Invoke the HP-UX Auditing and Security Attributes Configuration tool Web interface by typing
the URL
http://hostname:2301/secweb/secweb.cgi in the address bar of your
browser, where hostname is the name of the server
