Security - especially platform security - has always been an important issue for enterprise infrastructure. Even so, concepts such as "Individual accountability" and "Least privilege" are not the most stimulating or popular conversation topics, and therefore are often neglected or over-looked by many organizations. Recently introduced legislation - including HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley - has helped to highlight the importance of these security concepts. In order to help address these growing demands, HP is releasing a series of products aimed at further strengthening the security of the HPUX Operating Environments. This paper introduces the HP-UX Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) product and describes the fundamentals of access control and its use within HP-UX.
