NAME
secweb - invokes the HP-UX Security Attributes Configuration tool
SYNOPSIS
secweb [ -F ][-b
]
secweb -t
DESCRIPTION
The HP-UX Security Attributes Configuration tool (
secweb) is used to 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 Security Attributes Configuration tool provides both Web-based and terminal user interface.
The Web-based interface is launched through the HP System Management Homepage.
Superuser privileges are required to access the HP-UX 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 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 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 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 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 attri-
butes regardless of the current setting of the DISPLAY environment variable.
Note: You can also start the HP-UX Security Attributes Configuration tool using one of the following
methods:
• Invoke /usr/sbin/sam and select the Security Attributes Configuration (character mode) func-
tional area to launch the terminal user interface and the Security Attributes Configuration (Web-
based Interface) to launch the Web-based tool.
• Invoke the HP-UX Security Attributes Configuration tool Web interface by typing the URL
http://hostname:2301/secweb/secweb.cgi in the address bar of your browser, where host-
name is the name of the server.
