Important Updates to Cybersecurity Software
HelpSystems is updating the names of our cybersecurity software, including the Powertech product line. Don’t worry—the functionality of your products won’t change.
See the new names here > New, Clearer Names for HelpSystems Security Software.
Note: During installation an FTP connection is initiated. The FTP server responds with messages that prompt for FTP login credentials. The standard port reserved to establish an FTP connection to the IBM i is port 21. Consequently, it is required that this port is open and ‘listening’ on the server in order to establish a connection with the Installation Wizard and facilitate a successful installation.
If FTP is not available, you must install the product manually. See Manual Installation of Powertech IBM i Products.
Please review the following information before installing Compliance Monitor.
Note: When installing Compliance Monitor in an HA environment:
Compliance Monitor requires that you enter a valid license key. Contact [email protected] if you need to request a new license key.
It is Powertech’s goal not to change system values on customer systems because we recognize that security-conscious organizations have rigorous change control processes in place for even small changes to system values. Therefore, we ask you to make any system value changes that are needed. To install Powertech Compliance Monitor on your system, the following system values that control object restores must be configured as shown.
The Compliance Monitor installation process is completely automated.
Ensure the system is not in a restricted state and that the following servers are available and running prior to updating:
If the File Host server is not active: Run the commands
STRSBS QSYS/QSERVER
STRHOSTSVR SERVER(*FILE)
Do the following to install Compliance Monitor:
Note: Make sure the user profile is a member of the user class *SECOFR and has at least the following special authorities: *ALLOBJ, *SECADM, *JOBCTL, *IOSYSCFG, and *AUDIT. The user profile should have Limit capabilities set to *NO.
Note: The Consolidator does not have to be an Endpoint.)
Note: Compliance Monitor installs a work management subsystem, PTWRKMGT, that allows Powertech products to submit long-running batch jobs without interfering with customer job queues. The PTWRKMGT subsystem also is used by other Powertech products, so if you have another Powertech product installed, it is not installed again. The PTWRKMGT library consists of a subsystem description, a class description, job queue descriptions for Powertech products, and job descriptions for Powertech products and features. PTWRKMGT is activated when a product needs to use it. All jobs in PTWRKMGT are submitted jobs; there are no prestart or auto-start jobs.
The installation process displays the job log name, user, and job log number. Use the WRKSPLF command to display the job log for complete information on the Compliance Monitor install.
