Reviewing PATROL security

PATROL security is installed as part of the PATROL Agent, console server, and consoles. The PATROL Agent, console server, and consoles must operate at the same security level to communicate with each other. PATROL for Oracle inherits the security policy from the agent, console server, and console on which it is installed. PATROL for Oracle can operate at any PATROL security level.

To check the security level of a previously installed agent, console server, or console

1. From the command line, switch to the path on the computer that you want to check:
   • %BMC_ROOT\..\common\security\bin\OS (Windows)
   • $BMC_ROOT/../common/security/bin/OS (UNIX)
2. To display the security policy of the current computer, run the following command:

esstool policy -a
The security level is displayed in the security level field of the output.
