Set Certain Options to Absolute Values

In addition to customizing Security Management options for your environment, you can set several options to absolute values before starting the Security Management daemons (service providers) in QUIET mode (Phase 2). Setting these options to absolute values lets you test your policies during implementation without locking out your user community.

To set options to absolute values

  1. Set the following options to their respective values:

Windows Option

UNIX/Linux Option

Value

Default Value

Overall Activation Setting

N/A

ACTIVE

ACTIVE

System Violation Mode

SYSTEM_MODE

QUIET

  1. Supply an Administrator ID for the Authorized User List (SSF_AUTH for UNIX/Linux platforms) option, the user ID of the person who is authorized to modify your Security Management policies.

Note: For instructions about setting options, see Customizing Your Security Management Options in the online CA Procedures.
