PAM Server Control
 maintains specific Policy Model settings it uses under the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\AccessControl\Pmd\PMDB_Name
Each Pmd\
PMDB_Name
registry key contains the following registry entries:
  • _Min_Retries
    Defines the number of failed attempts the Policy Model makes to connect to a subscriber before it considers it unavailable.
    Default:
    4
  • _Retry_Timeout
    Defines the time, in minutes, that the Policy Model waits before trying to resend an update to an unavailable subscriber, after the minimum number of attempts specified in _Min_Retries has been made.
    Default:
    30
  • _Shutoff_Time_
    Obsolete.
  • Active_Policy
    Defines the Policy Model name.
  • Always_Propagate
    Specifies whether the Policy Model propagates commands when there is an error. By default, the Policy Model always sends commands for propagation. If you set this to
    no
    the Policy Model will not send command when there is an error.
    Default:
    Yes
  • Auto_Truncate
    Specifies if sepmd truncates the updates file if you execute sepmd -t without specifying either auto or the offset.
    Values:
    Yessepmd automatically truncates the update file if no sepmd -t parameter is specified, Nosepmd does not truncate the update file if no sepmd -t parameter is specified
    Default:
    Yes
  • Filter
    Defines the full pathname of the filter file for the update file.
    No default.
  • force_auto_truncate
    Specifies whether 
    PAM Server Control
    truncates the update file even if there are no subscribers to the Policy Model.
    You can truncate the update file manually (sepmd -t), and 
    PAM Server Control
    also truncates the file automatically based on a separate configuration setting (trigger_auto_truncate) that defines the event that triggers automatic truncation.
    Note:
    If all subscribers to the Policy Model are "Out of sync", the Policy Model effectively has no subscribers.
    Default:
    Yes
  • Parent_Pmd
    Defines the names of parent PMDBs from which this Policy Model accepts updates.
    No default.
  • trigger_auto_truncate
    Defines the size of the Policy Model update file, in megabytes, that triggers an automatic truncating of the update file.
    If you set this entry to 0, 
    PAM Server Control
    uses the hard-coded default value (100 MB). If you use a value that is greater than the upper limit, 
    PAM Server Control
    uses the upper limit value.
    Type
    : REG_DWORD
    Limits:
    1 - 2000 MB
    Default (DMS__ and DH__WRITER):
