SunScreen 3.2 Administration Guide

Configuration Editor Subcommands

You use the ssadm edit subcommands when running the configuration editor, which is responsible for maintaining the SunScreen configuration database.


Note -

Be sure to save changes made using commands such as add, del, rename, renamereference, insert, replace, and move, before you quit. Run save only once, just before the quit command to avoid accumulating too many policy versions.


The following table lists the SunScreen configuration editor ssadm edit subcommands and their descriptions. Many subcommands duplicate administration GUI functions; the remainder provide context for other subcommands.
