To let you control operating system and third-party processes,
Privileged Access Manager Server Control
lets you make calls to UNIX exits automatically when loading the kernel extension.When you run
SEOS_load
, Privileged Access Manager Server Control
does the following:- Looks for programs in the following directory:ACInstallDir/exits/LOAD
- Selects all the programs that have file names of the following format:SEOS_load_string.alwaysWherestringcan be any descriptive strings.
- Executes, in lexicographical order, each file it found in the directoryACInstallDir/exits/LOAD:SEOS_load_string.always -preEach file is executed with the-preparameter so that you can write your exits to detect the parameter and perform the actions required before the kernel is loaded.If the exit returns a nonzero value,Privileged Access Manager Server Controlkills the exit process, displays an error message, and aborts the kernel loading.
- Loads the kernel (SEOS_syscall).
- Executes, in lexicographical order, each file it found in the directoryACInstallDir/exits/LOAD:SEOS_load_string.always -postEach file is executed with the-postparameter so that you can write your exits to detect the parameter and perform the actions required after the kernel is loaded.If the exit returns a nonzero value,Privileged Access Manager Server Controlkills the exit process and displays an error message. Having already been loaded, the CA ControlMinder kernel remains loaded.
