Security Policies

[Manoj Misra]

Hi all,

I want to disable the security policies on the HP 10.20 system.
Before enabling the security policies my passwd file contains the encrypted passwords which changed to * after enabling this. I want to revert these changes.

Please help.

Thanks
Manoj

Hi Manoj,

As i understand u have converted to a trusted system, that's one reason that u get an * in the password file. which showdows he password file. Try converting it back to the normal system. Or have u enabled NIS on yr system.

Hope this solves...

Manoj,

Looks like your system is trusted. See if you have /tcb/auth directory structure. or do a "/usr/lbin/getprdef". It shouldn't say "your system is not trusted". If you don't get this message, then your's is a trusted system and you need to convert it back to untrusted mode. Use the command /usr/lbin/tsconvert -r to get the system back to untrusted mode and the password policies will be disabled.

You can convert it back to trusted anytime by using tsconvert command.

Else, you can use SAM to do this for you.

Hi Manoz,


To unconvert a trusted system, using SAM

1. Login as root or su to root.

2. Run SAM.

3. Select Auditing and Security.

4. Select Audited Events.

5. Select Actions.

6. Select Unconvert System Now? Yes

7. Exit SAM.

Or you could just run "tsconvert -r" to unconvert a trusted system.

-HTH

Hi,

Your system is definitely set as 'trusted'.
The easiest way to fix this is from the
command line:

# /usr/lbin/tsconvert -r

or you can use sam


Good Luck
