7 Action Chart
To make the information presented in this document more accessible we decided to
include a so-called action chart. This action chart gives you a brief overview of the steps
to perform for certain tasks. This action chart is not exhaustive, as it only provides a red
line to follow for more complex tasks not covered by a single section in this document.
To install and configure pwdch, you should
− browse through the Requirements section
− complete the sudo installation (download from www.sunfreesoftware.com, use
pkgadd -d sudo* to install)
− complete the pwdch installation (creation of /usr/local/cms, unpacking the
tarball pwdch.tar)
− add a main menu item (access System Setup → Main Menu Addition from the
terminal environment)
− optional: modify crontab to invoke pwdch_cleanup on a regular basis
To give a trusted user access to pwdch, you should
− configure sudo (use visudo command to give root access permission to
/usr/local/cms/pwdch for a certain trusted user)
− reveal the main menu item (add Main Menu Access permission for the trusted user
using CMS terminal environment or CentreVu Supervisor)
To remove a users permission to access pwdch, you should
− hide the main menu item (remove Main Menu Access permission using CMS
terminal environment or CentreVu Supervisor)
− configure sudo (use visudo command and remove the corresponding root access
permission to /usr/local/cms/pwdch)
− optional: remove any crontab entries pointing to pwdch_cleanup
8 PWDCH Removal
Although we hope that this part of the document will never be required, we provide it for
completeness. To remove the CMS Password Service Utility just follow the steps given
below
− configure sudo (use visudo command to remove all lines with reference to
/usr/local/cms/pwdch)
− hide main menu items (remove Main Menu Access permission for all users using
CMS terminal environment or CentreVu Supervisor)
− unassign the application from the CMS main menu (by essentially following the
same steps given for the assignment procedure, but selecting Delete instead of Add
)
− remove pwdch by entering
# rm /usr/local/cms/pwdch*
# rm /usr/local/cms/example_passwd
− optionally remove sudo by using the pkgrm command
