Managing administrative credentials

To allow Bravura Privilege to manage the administrative credentials on AIX 6.1 systems, you must activate SecPolicy roles for the user. On the command line:

  1. Change the user’s role and default role to SecPolicy:

    chuser roles=SecPolicy default_roles=SecPolicy pamadmin

  2. Confirm the role has been changed for the user:

    rolelist -u pamadmin

  3. Add the user to security group:

    usermod -G security pamadmin

  4. Switch to this user:

    su - pamadmin

  5. List effective active role authorizations:

    rolelist -ea

  6. Make sure there is "aix.security.passwd" authorization.
