Configuring AIX Runtime Expert

Edit online

AIX® Runtime Expert uses the configuration file /etc/security/artex/config/artex.conf.

An entry in the configuration file consists of the name of a configuration option, followed by one or more spaces and a value. Blank lines and lines starting with a # sign are ignored.

The following options are supported:
