EPM-L and EPM-UL have extensive ability to log privilege access and sessions. You can use the pbsh and pbksh to log and record unprivileged session, however the problems with that are twofold. Firstly, the pb-shell environments are incompatible with Advanced Control and Audit rules, and secondly, the shell environments are out-of-date compared to modern shell environments. They lack modern features like command argument completion, wildcard completion, directory history stack and others due to their age. Maybe a modern shell environment like bash, zsh or fish will get integrated into the product.The first issue is easily taken care of by normal DAC file system permissions, they are unprivileged users after all. The second issue is more complex and could be solved by just forcing people to use pbksh, but there is a method of logging which is secure, and respects the

Hi Team, I am trying PMUL and want to ask if i can block any standard command without pbrun. Example:I want to block the standard ping but without using pbrun ping.ping 8.8.8.8 should be rejected. But for now, i can only reject if user executed pbrun ping 8.8.8.8.Can we do that in PMUL? (right now, i am using role-based policies)I have a case from end-user, they want to block all kind of command except 2 or 3 specific commands.Thanks

One of the things that becomes a big issue for customers, especially when we move to automated build processes, is “how do you allow a user to add/remove users or groups, but NOT allow them to add ‘root-capable’ accounts, or elevate their own access?” As has been well discussed in other forums such as OWASP: https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Input_Validation_Cheat_Sheet.html - input validation is very difficult to do properly, especially if all you’re doing is checking “are these options included in the input?”  A lot of customers will simply try to grep the options for dangerous flags or mis-uses, but as documented above, this is not safe - a re-implementation of the commandline parsing is typically required for security.For a customer this month, we built a “pbuseradd” function that re-implements the “useradd” com
