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.

A typical Site Policy is shown in Control-M/Server site.plc file. 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.
