20127N/A<para>

20127N/AThe GNOME Panel displays an area on your screen, which acts as a repository

20127N/Afor the main menu, application launchers, and applets.

20127N/A</para>

20127N/A

20127N/A<para>

20127N/AThe main menu items are specified by desktop files that are located in the

20127N/A<filename>/usr/share/applications</filename> directory. Applets are

20127N/Aspecified by bonobo server files located in the

20127N/A<filename>/usr/lib/bonobo/servers</filename> directory.

20127N/A

20127N/A<para>

20127N/AOn Solaris, the GNOME Panel is integrated with RBAC to determine which menu

20127N/Aitems, launchers, and applets are presented to the user and how they are

20127N/Aexecuted. The GNOME Panel will only make available menu items, launchers and

20127N/Aapplets that the user can run based on RBAC configuration.

20127N/A</para>

20127N/A

20127N/A<para>

20127N/ARBAC can be configured so that programs are associated with Rights Profiles.

20127N/AWhen a program is associated with a Rights Profile, the GNOME Panel makes sure

20127N/Athat the user has access to the profile and will filter out any programs the

20127N/Auser cannot run.

20127N/A</para>

20127N/A

20127N/A<para>

20127N/AWhen using Trusted Extensions, different RBAC roles can be associated with each

20127N/Aworkspace via the Trusted Stripe. So, the GNOME Panel automatically reloads

20127N/Athe menu items, launchers and applets whenever the workspace switches or

20127N/Awhenever the user changes to a different role in the Trusted Stripe.

20127N/A</para>

20127N/A

20127N/A<para>

20127N/ARBAC can be configured to allow users access to a Rights Profile. If a program

20127N/Acan be run with a Rights Profile associated with the user, then the program is

20127N/Amade available to the user and is run by the GNOME Panel with

20127N/A<citerefentry><refentrytitle>pfexec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

20127N/ARBAC can be configured to allow users access to a role. If not using Trusted

20127N/AExtensions and if a program can be run with a user or role the user can assume,

20127N/Athen the program is made available to the user and is run by the GNOME Panel

20127N/Awith

20127N/A<citerefentry><refentrytitle>gksu</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

20127N/APrograms that are not explicitly assigned security attributes in Rights

20127N/AProfiles are not filtered by the GNOME panel. If using Trusted Extensions or

20127N/Aif the user's shell is a

20127N/A<citerefentry><refentrytitle>pfexec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>

20127N/Aenabled shell like

20127N/A<citerefentry><refentrytitle>pfsh</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>

20127N/Aor

20127N/A<citerefentry><refentrytitle>pfbash</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>,

20127N/Athen the panel runs all programs not explicitly assigned security attributes in

20127N/ARights Profiles with

20127N/A<citerefentry><refentrytitle>pfexec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

20127N/ARunning with

20127N/A<citerefentry><refentrytitle>pfexec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>

20127N/Aensures that the user's profile assignments apply to all

20127N/Achild processes, as well. Users can also be disallowed from running programs

20127N/Aby configuring RBAC. For example, by using the "Stop" profile.

20127N/A</para>

20127N/A

20127N/A<para>

20127N/AWhen processing GNOME Panel menu and launchers, it determines the executable by

20127N/Achecking the associated application or launcher desktop file. The GNOME Panel

20127N/Achecks the executables associated with the Exec and TryExec keys of the desktop

20127N/Afile to see if they are associated with a profile. If both are associated with

20127N/Aa profile, the GNOME Panel uses the profile associated with the Exec key. When

20127N/Aprocessing GNOME Panel applets, it determines the executable by checking the

20127N/Aapplet factory's bonobo server file and uses the value specified in the

20127N/A"location" element of the factory's bonobo server configuration file to see if

20127N/Ait is associated with a profile.

20127N/A</para>

20127N/A

20127N/A<para>

20127N/ASome programs that can be shown in the GNOME Panel by default on Solaris are

20127N/Aassociated with profiles via RBAC. These programs include:

20127N/A</para>

20127N/A

20127N/A<itemizedlist>

20127N/A<listitem>brasero uses the "Desktop Removable Media User" profile.</listitem>

20127N/A<listitem>sound-juicer uses the "Desktop Removable Media User" profile.</listitem>

20127N/A<listitem>users-admin uses the "User Management" profile.</listitem>

20127N/A<listitem>nwam-manager-properties uses the "Network Autoconf Admin" profile.</listitem>

20127N/A<listitem>The "Network Monitor" applet uses the "Network Autoconf User" profile.</listitem>

20127N/A</itemizedlist>

20127N/A

20127N/A<para>

20127N/AThe "Desktop Administration" profile includes all of the above profiles, and

20127N/Acan be used to make them all available to a user. When not using Trusted

20127N/AExtensions, you can configure the GNOME Panel so that it requires a role

20127N/Apassword to be entered before running the program by setting up a role with a

20127N/Apassword and specify the user be associated with the role rather than by

20127N/Aassigning the profile directly to the user. RBAC can be configured to support

20127N/Athese various configurations with the

20127N/A<citerefentry><refentrytitle>profiles</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>,

20127N/A<citerefentry><refentrytitle>roleadd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>

20127N/A

20127N/A<para>

20127N/AWhen integrating a package that contains a program that requires privilege to

20127N/Arun, then the package should associate the program with a profile in the

20127N/A<filename>/etc/security/exec_attr</filename> file. A new profile can be added

20127N/Ato the <filename>/etc/security/prof_attr</filename> file if desired. Once this

20127N/Ais done, access to the program can be controlled by specifying which users

20127N/Ahave access to this profile, or to a role with the profile.

20127N/A</para>

20127N/A

20127N/A<para>

20127N/ANote that the GNOME Panel monitors the <filename>/etc/user_attr</filename>,

20127N/A<filename>/etc/security/exec_attr</filename>, and

20127N/A<filename>/etc/security/prof_attr</filename> files. If any of these files

20127N/Aare modified, the GNOME Panel reloads the menu items, launchers, and applets.

20127N/ASo any changes made to these RBAC configuration by the system administrator or

20127N/Avia an RBAC GUI editor will take effect immediately.
