SET PATHWAY
SECURITY security-attribute
specifies the users who can issue PXMCOM commands that directly alter the state
of the Pathway/XM objects. Before you issue the PXMCOM START PATHWAY
command, the owner ID is the process-accessor ID of the PXMCOM process and
the security attribute is “O”. This security setting prevents alteration of the
Pathway/XM configuration attributes.
The security attributes are the same as the Guardian security attributes. The possible
values are:
Quotation marks are required. If you omit this attribute, the default is “U”.
Example
The following SET PATHWAY statements are valid for a Pathway/XM environment:
SET PATHWAY MAXEXTERNALTCPS 0
SET PATHWAY MAXLINKMONS 16
SET PATHWAY MAXSPI 5
SET PATHWAY MAXTELLQUEUE 50
SET PATHWAY MAXTELLS 500
SET PATHWAY MAXTMFRESTARTS 5
SET PATHWAY OWNER 8,8
SET PATHWAY SECURITY "U"
“A” Any local user
“G” A group member or owner
“O” Owner only
“-” Local super ID
“N” Any local or remote user
“C” Any member of owner's community (local or remote user having same
group ID as owner)
“U” Any member of owner's user class (local or remote user having same
group ID and user ID as owner)
Caution. If the owner of this system is the super ID, allowing the security to default to “N”
results in a security risk for your system. In this situation, set the security to “O” or “-”, so that
only persons logged on as the local super ID can add, delete, or modify Pathway/XM objects.
