Settings configuration

The Endpoint Privilege Management for Unix and Linux (EPM-UL) settings file contains settings that control its operation. This section describes in detail how to configure these settings.

Base directory

basedir

• Version 21.1.0 and earlier: basedir setting not available.
• Version 22.1.0 and later: basedir setting available.

During installation and at runtime, EPM-UL creates helper files and directories. Some files/subdirectories are created in the default location /opt/pbul. Consequently, some settings such as databasedir, licensestatsdb, and writequeuepath, automatically use /opt/pbul as the default path.

Starting with EPM-UL v22.1.0, pbinstall has an option for administrators to change the default location from /opt/pbul and automatically updates and enables the settings that normally use /opt/pbul as the parent directory. After installation, the changed path is saved in the basedir setting.

Default

basedir  /opt/<prefix>pbul<suffix>

Used on

All hosts

Client and server programs

EPM-UL is a multi-level client-server application. The client programs are the programs that request services. The server programs are the programs that provide services. Any combination of client or server programs can exist on the same or different hosts.
