Endpoint Privilege Management for Unix and Linux Installation Guide

This guide provides the information that is needed to perform a basic installation of the Endpoint Privilege Management for Unix and Linux software.

Endpoint Privilege Management for Unix and Linux or EPM-UL, refers to the product formerly known as PowerBroker for Unix and Linux.

Specific font and line spacing conventions are used to ensure readability and to highlight important information, such as commands, syntax, and examples.

 

The BeyondInsight integration for Endpoint Privilege Management for Unix and Linux is no longer supported. Instead, EPM-UL uses BeyondInsight for Unix & Linux and ElasticSearch.

 

Both pbguid and pbsguid are deprecated as of EPM-UL version 22.3.0.

Sample Policy Files

When you install EPM-UL, you can choose to copy sample EPM-UL policy files to the installation host. These sample policy files include detailed explanations of what they do. You can use these files to learn how policy files are typically written for various scenarios. The directory that these sample files are copied to is determined by the GUI library directory option that you specify during installation. By default, this directory is /usr/local/lib/pbbuilder. A readme_samples text file in that directory includes a brief description of each sample file.
