The read protection feature prevents unauthorized programs or users from reading protected data.
You can read-protect specific components to prevent unauthorized programs or users from reading the data. These components can't be compressed or encrypted.
Task
Run this command at the command prompt.
sadmin read-protect [ -i ] pathname1 ... pathnameN
Specify the full path for each component to be read-protected.
Paths can include wildcard characters. When using wildcards, make sure that the specified string matches a limited set of file paths or file names. If the specified string matches many files, we recommend you revise the string.
- Paths can include the * wildcard character. Using/abc/*/def is allowed while /abc/*.sh, /abc/*.*, or /abc/doc.* is not supported.
For example:
- # sadmin read-protect –i /etc/password
You can apply read protection over mounted network file system components by specifying the network paths with the sadmin read-protect command.
