Values

user is the name of the user account.

Windows

  • For a demand-driven Server, user is the one specified from the Universal Event Monitor Manager's command options.
  • For an event-driven Server, the user checked is the one stored in the event handler record.

For either type of Server, user is checked only if the USER_SECURITY configuration option is not set to none.


access specifies the security context of the event handler processes.

Valid values for access are:

  • allow
    Event handler processes can be run in the security context of the user account specified by user.
  • deny
    Event handler processes cannot be run in the security context of the user account specified by user.

UNIX

An Event Handler ACL entry also uses the value specified by auth to determine whether the user account must be authenticated with a password before the handler process can be executed.

Valid values for auth are:

  • auth
    User account must be authenticated.
    • For a demand-driven UEM Server, a proper password must be provided by the UEM Manager for the account.
    • For an event-driven UEM Server, a valid user ID and password must be available in the stored event handler record.
  • noauth
    The user account does not require user authentication. A password still may be necessary to satisfy command syntax rules, but it will not be verified. Any password value will suffice.

Caution

noauth should be used with care. Turning off user authentication may violate your local security policies on the Server system.
