PMDB Location on Disk

All PMDBs reside in a common directory (one per computer). The name of the directory is specified by the _pmd_directory_ token in the [pmd] section of the seos.ini file. The default value of _pmd_directory_ is ACInstallDir/policies, where ACInstallDir is the installation directory for CA ControlMinder (by default /opt/CA/AccessControl).

Each PMDB occupies a subdirectory in the common directory. The name of the subdirectory is the name of the Policy Model. The files in the subdirectory contain all the data required to define the Policy Model including the pmd.ini file.
