UNIX Environment

In the UNIX environment, Policy Tables are implemented in ASCII text Policy Files in standard .INI format. Policy Tables are stored in .plc files located in these directories:

  • Control-M/Server: <Control-M/Server home directory>/data/SSL/cert

  • Control-M/Agent: <Control-M/Agent home directory>/ctm/data/SSL/cert

  • Control-M/Agent for IBM i (AS/400): <Control-M/Agent home directory>/data/SSL/cert

  • Control-M/EM: <Control-M/EM home Directory>/etc/site/resource/ssl/cert

Stanzas in the Site Policy and Application Policy files specify the security module that supports the role defined by the stanza. If an application acts like a network server, security attributes are obtained from the [server] stanza. If an application acts like a network client, security attributes are obtained from the [client] stanza.

When establishing the type of communication listed in the table below, the values (if any) in the relevant application .plc file override the values in the site.plc file.
