PMDF System Manager's Guide

The PMDF security configuration file is located via the PMDF_SECURITY_CONFIG_FILE logical (OpenVMS) or PMDF tailor file option (UNIX), or Registry entry (NT) and hence is usually the file security.cnf located in the PMDF table directory.

If no security configuration file exists, reasonable defaults are assumed by PMDF. A sample security configuration file corresponding to those internal defaults is shipped with PMDF as the file security.cnf-sample in the PMDF table directory.

To override PMDF's internal defaults, or specify additional, site-specific settings, create a security.cnf file (more specifically, create the file which is pointed to by PMDF_SECURITY_CONFIG_FILE), and then update any compiled PMDF configuration and restart the PMDF Dispatcher as discussed in Section 14.2.9.
