policy.conf File

The /etc/security/policy.conf file provides a way of granting specific rights profiles, specific authorizations, and specific privileges to all users of a system. The relevant entries in the file consist of key=value pairs:

• AUTHS_GRANTED=authorizations – Refers to one or more authorizations.

• AUTH_PROFS_GRANTED=rights profiles – Refers to one or more authenticated rights profiles.

• PROFS_GRANTED=rights profiles – Refers to one or more rights profiles that are not authenticated.

• CONSOLE_USER=Console User– Refers to the Console User rights profile. This profile is delivered with a convenient set of authorizations for the console user. You can customize this profile.

• PRIV_DEFAULT=privileges – Refers to one or more privileges.

• PRIV_LIMIT=privileges – Refers to all privileges.

The following example shows some rights values from a policy.conf database:

## 
AUTHS_GRANTED=
AUTH_PROFS_GRANTED=
CONSOLE_USER=Console User
PROFS_GRANTED=Basic Solaris User
#PRIV_DEFAULT=basic
#PRIV_LIMIT=all
