Restricting Access to the Vault Facility

On UNIX, Micro Focus strongly recommends that you configure additional security to restrict access to your vault.

On UNIX, you can restrict access to the vault files and to the mfsecrets.cfg, to do this:

  1. Change the permissions of the secrets.cfg file, typically located at $COBDIR/etc/secrets.cfg, to be read and write (600) by the ES_USER used at install.
  2. Change the permissions of the vault directory, default location /opt/microfocus/secrets/<install hash>, to be read, write, and execute (700) by the ES_USER used at install.
