How to Copy Files to Portable Media in Trusted Extensions
5. Configuring LDAP for Trusted Extensions (Tasks)
6. Configuring a Headless System With Trusted Extensions (Tasks)
B. Using CDE Actions to Install Zones in Trusted Extensions
The following two tasks enable you to transfer exact copies of configuration files to every Trusted Extensions system at your site. The final task enables you to remove Trusted Extensions customizations from an Oracle Solaris system.
When copying to portable media, label the media with the sensitivity label of the information.
Note - During Trusted Extensions configuration, superuser or an equivalent role copies administrative files to and from portable media. Label the media with Trusted Path.
Before You Begin
To copy administrative files, you must be superuser or in a role in the global zone.
Use the Device Allocation Manager, and insert clean media. For details, see How to Allocate a Device in Trusted Extensions in Trusted Extensions User’s Guide.
In Solaris Trusted Extensions (CDE), a File Manager displays the contents of the portable media.
In Solaris Trusted Extensions (JDS), a File Browser displays the contents.
In this procedure, File Browser is used to refer to this GUI.
For example, you might have copied files to an /export/clientfiles folder.
For details, see How to Deallocate a Device in Trusted Extensions in Trusted Extensions User’s Guide.
Note - Remember to physically affix a label to the media with the sensitivity label of the copied files.
Example 4-9 Keeping Configuration Files Identical on All Systems
The system administrator wants to ensure that every machine is configured with the same settings. So, on the first machine that is configured, she creates a directory that cannot be deleted between reboots. In that directory, the administrator places the files that should be identical or very similar on all systems.
For example, she copies the Trusted Extensions toolbox that the Solaris Management Console uses for the LDAP scope, /var/sadm/smc/toolboxes/tsol_ldap/tsol_ldap.tbx. She has customized remote host templates in the tnrhtp file, has a list of DNS servers, and audit configuration files. She also modified the policy.conf file for her site. So, she copies the files to the permanent directory.
# mkdir /export/commonfiles # cp /etc/security/policy.conf \ /etc/security/audit_control \ /etc/security/audit_startup \ /etc/security/tsol/tnrhtp \ /etc/resolv.conf \ /etc/nsswitch.conf \ /export/commonfiles
She uses the Device Allocation Manager to allocate a diskette in the global zone, and transfers the files to the diskette. On a separate diskette, labeled ADMIN_HIGH, she puts the label_encodings file for the site.
When she copies the files onto a system, she modifies the dir: entries in the /etc/security/audit_control file for that system.
It is safe practice to rename the original Trusted Extensions file before replacing the file. When configuring a system, the root role renames and copies administrative files.
Before You Begin
To copy administrative files, you must be superuser or in a role in the global zone.
For details, see How to Allocate a Device in Trusted Extensions in Trusted Extensions User’s Guide.
In Solaris Trusted Extensions (CDE), a File Manager displays the contents of the portable media.
In Solaris Trusted Extensions (JDS), a File Browser displays the contents.
In this procedure, File Browser is used to refer to this GUI.
For example, add .orig to the end of the original file:
# cp /etc/security/tsol/tnrhtp /etc/security/tsol/tnrhtp.orig
For details, see How to Deallocate a Device in Trusted Extensions in Trusted Extensions User’s Guide.
Example 4-10 Loading Audit Configuration Files in Trusted Extensions
In this example, roles are not yet configured on the system. The root user needs to copy configuration files to portable media. The contents of the media will then be copied to other systems. These files are to be copied to each system that is configured with Trusted Extensions software.
The root user allocates the floppy_0 device in the Device Allocation Manager and responds yes to the mount query. Then, the root user inserts the diskette with the configuration files and copies them to the disk. The diskette is labeled Trusted Path.
To read from the media, the root user allocates the device on the receiving host, then downloads the contents.
If the configuration files are on a tape, the root user allocates the mag_0 device. If the configuration files are on a CD-ROM, the root user allocates the cdrom_0 device.
To remove Trusted Extensions from your Oracle Solaris system, you perform specific steps to remove Trusted Extensions customizations to the Oracle Solaris system.
For details, see How to Remove a Non-Global Zone in System Administration Guide: Oracle Solaris Containers-Resource Management and Oracle Solaris Zones.
# svcadm disable labeld
For the effect of this command, see the bsmunconv(1M) man page.
Various services might need to be configured for your Oracle Solaris system. Candidates include auditing, basic networking, naming services, and file system mounts.
