Is there a Web User Interface or local graphical user interface access (GUI) to configure Linux Security 64 on a Linux device? 

Last updated

Issue:

Is there a Web User Interface or local graphical user interface access (GUI) to configure Linux Security 64 on a Linux device? 

Resolution:

Linux Security 64 does not include a separate web user interface or local user interface to configure the clients. 

The client configurations need to be handled from the Policy Manager, or by a command line using the "lsctl" utility. 

To use the lsctl utility:

  1. 1. Log in to the Linux host as root.
  2. 2. Use the following commands:
    • To see the current value of a setting, run /opt/f-secure/linuxsecurity/bin/lsctl get [OPTIONS] [SETTING]
    • To assign a new value to a setting, run /opt/f-secure/linuxsecurity/bin/lsctl set [OPTIONS] [SETTING] [VALUE]
    • To add an entry to a setting that holds several values, run /opt/f-secure/linuxsecurity/bin/lsctl add [OPTIONS] [SETTING] [VALUE]
    • To remove an entry from a setting that holds several values, run /opt/f-secure/linuxsecurity/bin/lsctl del [OPTIONS] [SETTING] [KEY]
    • To clear the value of a setting, run /opt/f-secure/linuxsecurity/bin/lsctl reset [OPTION] [SETTING]
    • To see a list of the operations available for a setting, run /opt/f-secure/linuxsecurity/bin/lsctl help [OPTIONS] [SETTING]
    • To load product settings from a backup, run /opt/f-secure/linuxsecurity/bin/lsctl load [OPTIONS] [SETTING] [VALUE]
    • To get a list of all available settings, run /opt/f-secure/linuxsecurity/bin/lsctl -h

The get, set, add, del, and load commands support the following options:

–json, -j
Treat input as JSON and produce output in JSON format.
–raw, -r
This is currently the default. Raw is an alternative input/output format that is similar to JSON with the following changes:

  • String values are accepted and returned without surrounding quotes.
  • Boolean values accept additional expressions such as yes and no in addition to true and false.
Note: The default input/output format for lsctl is subject to change. If you rely on the format of lsctl, specify either –json or –raw explicitly when lsctl is run. In addition to setting values, the keys for array-type settings are considered as input and need to be entered in the correct format.

The set, add, and load commands accept the following options:

–prompt, -p
Prompt for input using a text editor.
–file, -f [PATH]
Read the input value from a file. If the path is set to -, the input value is read from the standard input.

If you use the –prompt or –file options, do not enter a [VALUE] for the command.

Note: The set and load commands differ in how they handle settings that are not included in the input. The set command does not change the current values for any settings that are missing from the input, whereas the load command resets those settings to their default values.

More details about "lsctl" utility usage can be found in the Linux Security 64 user guide:

There are also a list of commands that can be run from the Command line:
