UNIX exits are called whenever a selang command that updates user or group records is executed in the UNIX environment, regardless of whether the tool is a command-line interface (selang) or a GUI (such as
PAM Server Control
Endpoint Management).The term
update
refers to creating, modifying, or deleting a user or group record. Querying a user or a group does not cause any UNIX exit to run. These are the commands that can cause a UNIX exit to run:- newusr
- newgrp
- chusr
- chgrp
- editusr
- editgrp
- rmusr
- rmgrp
From the UNIX point of view, each exit processes runs as a root process, but from the
PAM Server Control
point of view, it runs under the agent identity _seagent.
