Disable locate for Safer Payments folders

locate is a daemon, which creates a database with file contents. Make sure that either applies:
  • locate is not installed.
  • locate is disabled on the operating system.
  • All Safer Payments folders are excluded from the locate search paths.
To change the locate search paths, edit the /etc/updatedb.conf file and add the Safer Payments folder to PRUNEPATHS.

Assuming PRUNEPATHS is set to: 

PRUNEPATHS="/afs /media /net /sfs /tmp /udev /var/cache/ccache 
/var/spool /var/tmp"

And you have installed Safer Payments to /instancePath as described in Installing Safer Payments for the first time.

Change PRUNEPATHS to: 

PRUNEPATHS="/afs /media /net /sfs /tmp /udev /var/cache/ccache 
/var/spool /var/tmp /instancePath"
Note:
  • If you have adapted Safer Payments file storage locations during cluster configuration as described in Configure cardholder data storage locations, you must also add folders that are used outside /instancePath to PRUNEPATHS. Keep in mind that file locations can be configured differently per cluster instance.
  • If any such folders are located on separate servers, PRUNEPATHS must be adjusted on those servers as well.
