SECEXITPROCESS
SECEXITPROCESS= logical-name
specifies a logical name for a security exit process.
You can specify up to 16 security exit processes. For each, you must specify a
unique logical name from 1 through 12 characters long. You can use the following
characters:
Alphabetic characters: A through Z and a through z
Numeric characters: 0 through 9
Other characters: ^ ~ # $ { } - . : @ [ \ ] _ ` |
Considerations
Security exit processes are not NonStop NET/MASTER MS processes. However,
they are configured, started, and stopped by NonStop NET/MASTER MS in the
same way as other processes. A security exit process is never restarted by
NonStop NET/MASTER MS if it stops. This prevents fraudulent or accidental
substitution. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that you configure more
than one exit or that you run a single NonStop exit.
For a security exit process (which can execute as a NonStop process pair), the first
number specified by the PARAM PROCESSCPU command is the primary CPU,
but the second number is ignored even though you must supply it. If the security
exit process runs as a NonStop process, you must specify the backup CPU as the
first argument in the startup parameters which are passed to the process (specified
by the PARAM PROCESSPARAM command).
The backup CPU must be different from the primary CPU.
If you include both the PARAM SECEXIT and PARAM SECEXITPROCESS
commands in the configuration file, the PARAM SECEXIT command has
precedence. (If you include both commands, although NonStop NET/MASTER
MS creates the security exit process named by the PARAM SECEXITPROCESS
command, NonStop NET/MASTER MS never uses it. This applies regardless of
the order in which the PARAM SECEXIT and PARAM SECEXITPROCESS
commands appear in the configuration file.)
