How to Analyze and Verify the label_encodings File

Before You Begin

You must be in the global zone in the Security Administrator role.

1. Check the syntax and relationships of the labels.

   In a terminal, use the chk_encodings -a command to analyze and report on label relationships.

   $ chk_encodings -a encodings-file

2. Verify the file.

   The Check Encodings action runs the chk_encodings command on the specified file.

   • If the file passes, install it.

     Do you want to install this label_encodings file? yes

   • If the file does not pass, see How to Debug a label_encodings File for assistance.

3. Test the encodings file.

   Where possible, test the file on a few systems before approving the file for all systems at your site.

4. Create a master copy.

   For copying instructions, see How to Copy Files to Portable Media in Trusted Extensions in Oracle Solaris Trusted Extensions Configuration Guide.

5. Save a labeled copy of the file in a protected location.
