Software Distributor Administration Guide for HP-UX 11i

SD-UX Security
Overview
Chapter 9 257
Depots and Depot Registration
Software Distributor typically uses central depots to distribute software.
You can control access to these depots by users who will install software.
An important security consideration is that depots must be registered for
nonlocal users to have access. Only a local superuser or a user with
insert permission on the host can install from unregistered depots.
For more information, see “Registering and Unregistering Depots
(swreg)” on page 151 and “Depot Management Commands and Concepts”
on page 134.
Modifying Target Systems
You may want to set up each system to grant administrative access to the
SD-UX controller while restricting access to other systems and users.
You will need to modify ACLs on your target systems in the following
cases:
• To change the login name of the SD-UX administrator (the default is
root).
• To modify permissions for the SD-UX administrator or group of
administrators.
