The policy.conf File

The policy.conf file provides a way of granting specific rights profiles and authorizations to all users. The two types of entries in the file consist of key-value pairs. They are the following:

• AUTHS_GRANTED=authorizations – Refers to one or more authorizations

• PROFS_GRANTED=right profiles – Refers to one or more rights profiles

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

# grep AUTHS /etc/security/policy
AUTHS_GRANTED=solaris.device.cdrw

# grep PROFS /etc/security/policy
PROFS_GRANTED=Basic Solaris User
