To Execute Commands that Require Privilege

Most commands for setting up auditing require the use of a profile shell, where commands can run with privilege. Auditing also requires the use of actions in the System_Admin and Solstice_Apps folders of Application Manager.

Log In and Assume an Administrative Role

1. Log in to the workstation as yourself.

   1. Enter your user name and press the Return key.

      If the workstation is protected against anyone logging in, the Enable Logins dialog is displayed.

   2. If you are allowed to enable logins, click the Yes button after Login:.

      If you are not allowed to enable logins, ask the administrator to enable logins.

   3. Enter your password.

   4. Click OK to dismiss the dialog.

      You are presented with the message of the day and a label builder screen. In a single-label system, the screen describes your session label. In a multilabel system, it presents you with a label builder to choose your session clearance.

   5. Accept the default unless you have a reason not to.

      Press the Return key or click the OK button and be logged in.

2. Assume an administrative role that you have been assigned.

   1. Click the right mouse button in the middle of the Front Panel.

   2. Choose Assume administrative Role from the menu.

   3. At the password prompt, enter the password for that role.

Open a Profile Shell

1. As an administrative role, in a workspace at the label required by the task, launch a terminal by right-clicking the background and selecting Tools > Terminal from the menu.

2. Enter the clist command.

   # clist

   If a list of commands prints, you are in a profile shell.
