VMS Help Sys Parameters, SECURITY_POLICY *Conan The Librarian |
SECURITY_POLICY allows a system to run in a C2 or B1
configuration and to subset out particular pieces of
functionality-to exclude functionality that is outside the
evaluated configuration or to preserve compatibility with
previous versions of the operating system. See the HP OpenVMS
Guide to System Security for further information about the C2 and
B1 evaluated configurations.
The following bits are defined:
Bit Description
0 Obsolete.
1 Allows multiple user names to connect to DECW$SERVER.
2 Allows unevaluated DECwindows transports (such as TCP/IP).
3 Allows $SIGPRC and $PRCTERM to span job trees.
4 Allows security profile changes to protected objects on
a local node when the object server is absent and cannot
update the cluster database VMS$OBJECTS.DAT.
5 Allows creation of protected objects on a local node when
the object server is absent and cannot update the cluster
database VMS$OBJECTS.DAT.
6 Allows SPAWN or LIB$SPAWN commands in CAPTIVE accounts.
7 Reserved to HP.
8 Reserved to HP.
9 Disables password synchronizations among ACME agents on
a systemwide pasis. This is functionally equivalent to
the SYS$SINGLE_SIGNON logical name bit mask value 4 for
LOGINOUT.
10 Allows privileged applications to successfully authenticate
a user whose principal name maps to a SYSUAF record that is
either expired or whose modal restrictions would otherwise
prevent the account from being used.
A SYSUAF record that is disabled or password-expired (in
the case of traditional OpenVMS authentication) cannot be
bypassed in this manner.
An application with SECURITY privilege specifies the
SYS$ACM ACME$M_NOAUTHORIZE function modifier to override
authorization checks.
11 Allows any record in the SYSUAF file to be mapped using
external authentication.
12 Allows intrusions on a clusterwide or local basis. (If the
bit is cleared, intrusions are clusterwide.)
13 Reserved to HP.
14 Allows the internal name and backlink of files and
directories to be read if the user has either execute or
read access to the file or directory. If this bit is clear,
read access is required.
Setting this bit allows the full POSIX pathname of a file
or directory to be displayed when some of the directories
in the path are execute-only to the user. This feature is
required in the following environments:
o POSIX pathnames are in use.
o The BASH shell or other GNV components are in use.
o Applications are using the realpath(), getcwd(),
getpwnam(), and related C runtime library functions.
The default value of 7 preserves compatibility with existing
DECwindows Motif behavior. A value of 0 disables all unevaluated
configurations.
