The environment command sets the security environment.
PAM Server Control
supports the 
PAM Server Control
and UNIX security environments. When the selang command shell is invoked, the AC environment is selected by default.
This command has the following format:
environment {ac|config|etrust|native|nt|pmd|seos|unix}
  • ac
    Specifies the 
    PAM Server Control
    security environment. The selang commands affect the local 
    PAM Server Control
    database. Some commands support simultaneous updates to the native OS security settings of the host you are connected to. In the 
    PAM Server Control
    environment, the selang prompt is as follows:
    PAMSC>
  • config
    Specifies the remote configuration environment, which lets you change endpoint configuration settings.
  • etrust
    Specifies the 
    PAM Server Control
    security environment.
    This is the same as specifying
    AC
    and is maintained for compatibility with older versions.
  • native
    Specifies the native operating system security environment (either Windows or UNIX) of the host you are connected to, whether local or remote. The selang commands affect the native OS database. In the native environment, the selang prompt is:
    PAMSC(native)>
  • nt
    Specifies the Windows security environment. The selang commands affect the Windows database. Some commands support simultaneous updates to the 
    PAM Server Control
    security settings. In the Windows environment, the selang prompt is:
    PAMSC(nt)>
  • pmd
    Specifies the selang commands in the remote management environment. When the selang command shell is set to the pmd environment, the commands operate on the PMDB of the selected host. In the pmd environment, the selang prompt is as follows:
    PAMSC(pmd)>
  • seos
    Specifies the 
    PAM Server Control
    security environment.
    This is the same as specifying
    AC
    and is maintained for compatibility with older versions.
  • unix
    Specifies the UNIX security environment. The selang commands operate on the UNIX security system. In the UNIX environment, the selang prompt is as follows:
    PAMSC(unix)>
