extractOSX
For the Mac OSX platform only. If the value is true, PLP files for the Mac OS X content are extracted.
When run, this parameter specifies to extract the embedded .dmg vendor patch files from the
corresponding .plp files. When used with any other platform, this parameter has no effect.
extractOSX=true or false
thirdparty
Set the value to true to support third party downloads for Red Hat, Solaris, and SUSE.
thirdparty=true or false
The SCR Tool first attempts to download payload from Lumension's CDN. If the patch is not found in the
CDN, the SCR Tool downloads it from the vendor Web site, such as Red Hat, SUSE, or Solaris, using the
credentials provided in user and pwd.
user
User ID for third party vendor downloads, such as Solaris or HP UX.
user=string
pwd
Encrypted password for the third party vendor downloads. This password is generated using the
lumension_encryptor_tool.sh script.
pwd=string
configlog
This parameter specifies an output file, which contains a list of parameters and values. These values reflect
the parameter configuration used during the last or current execution of the SCR Tool, and can be used to
troubleshoot problems.
configlog=config_log_file_path/filename.log
checkPayload
checkPayload=true or false
Enables the SCR Tool to audit and verify payload content for .pls files. If the .pls files do not match the
.pls or .plp files, this option causes the SCR Tool to download or replace the payload files.
This parameter defaults to false if not included in the properties file or not explicitly set to true. The value is
set to true by default in each properties file.
