Using the Service Management Facility to Manage CA Access Control

Valid on Solaris 10

You can use the Solaris Service Management Facility (SMF) utility to manage the CA Access Control daemons. Using the SMF utility, you control the authorization daemon (seosd), that manages the watchdog daemon (seoswd) and the seagent daemon. You use SMF-specific commands instead of the seload and secons commands.

Note: You can use the Service Management Facility utility to manage CA Access Control immediately after you install CA Access Control on Solaris 10.

Note: For more information about the seload and secons commands, refer to the Reference Guide.

The SMF commands have the following format:

#svcadm enable daemon

#svcadm disable daemon

#svcadm restart daemon

#svcadm refresh daemon

#svcs daemon 

#svcs -l daemon

#svcadm clear daemon

Example: Start the seosd daemon

The following example shows how you start the seosd daemon:

#svcadm enable seosd

Note: This command is equivalent to using the seload command.

Example: Stop the seosd daemon

The following example shows you how to stop the seosd daemon:

#svcadm disable seosd

Note: This command is equivalent to using the secons -sk command.

Example: Restart the sesod daemon

The following example shows you how to restart the seosd daemon:

#svcadm restart seosd

Example: Reload the seosd configuration

This example shows you how to reload the seosd daemon configuration:

#svcadm refresh seosd

Note: This command is equivalent to using the secons -rl command.

Example: Display the status of the seosd dameon

The following example shows you how to list the status of the seosd daemon:

#svcs -l seosd

Example: Clear the maintenance state of the seosd daemon

The following example shows you how to clear the maintenance service state of the seosd daemon:

#svcadm clear seosd
