Software Distributor Administrator Guide (September 2010)

• rpc_binding_info_source=

Defines the protocol sequences and endpoints used to contact a source depot. If

rpc_binding_info_source is not specified, rpc_binding_info is used. If both are

specified, rpc_binding_info_source is used.

Applies to swinstall and swcopy.

• rpc_binding_info_target=

Defines the protocol sequences and endpoints used to contact targets. If

rpc_binding_info_target is not specified, rpc_binding_info is used. If both are

specified, rpc_binding_info_target is used.

Applies to swinstall and swcopy.

• rpc_timeout=5

Relative length of the communications timeout. This is a value in the range from

0 to 9 and is interpreted by the DCE RPC. Higher values mean longer times; you

may need a higher value for a slow or busy network. Lower values give faster

recognition of attempts to contact hosts that are not up or are not running swagentd.

Each value is approximately twice as long as the lower one. A value of 5 is about

30 seconds for the ncadg_ip_udp protocol sequence. This option may be ignored

when using the ncacn_ip_tcp protocol sequence.

Applies to all commands except swmodify and swpackage.

• run_as_superuser=true

This option controls SD-UX’s nonprivileged mode. This option is ignored (treated

as true) when the invoking user is super-user.

At the default value of true, SD-UX operations are performed normally, with

permissions for operations either granted to a local super-user or set by ACLs.

(See Chapter 9: “SD-UX Security ” (page 187) for details on ACLs.)

When set to false and the invoking user is local and is not super-user, nonprivileged

mode is invoked:

— Permissions for operations are based on the user’s file system permissions.

— ACLs are ignored.

— Files created by SD-UX have the uid and gid of the invoking user, and the mode

of created files is set according to the invoking user’s umask.

Nonprivileged mode is intended only for managing applications that are specially

designed and packaged. This mode cannot be used to manage the HP-UX operating

system or patches to it. This option is not compatible with remote operations.

Setting this option to true forces the autoremove_job option to true. For a full

explanation of nonprivileged SD-UX, see Chapter 12: “Nonprivileged SD ”

(page 299).
