Enabling the User ssp to Administer the SSP

The user ssp is created by default during SSP installation. The secadmin role must assign profiles that enable the ssp user to administer the SSP.

It might be useful for the user ssp to be able to assume administrative roles, such as admin. For more information on the value of assigning roles, see “Understanding Trusted Software Administration” in Trusted Solaris Administration Overview.

2. Add two rights, “SSP Administration” and “SSP Installation” to the ssp user.
