policy.conf File Defaults in Trusted Extensions

The Solaris /etc/security/policy.conf file contains the default security settings for the system. Trusted Extensions adds two keywords to this file. You can add these keyword=value pairs to the file if you want to change the system-wide value. These keywords are enforced by Trusted Extensions.

The authorizations and rights profiles that are defined in the policy.conf file are in addition to any authorizations and profiles that are assigned to individual accounts. For the other fields, the individual user's value overrides the system value.

Planning User Security in Trusted Extensions includes a table of every policy.conf keyword. See also the policy.conf(4) man page.
