How to tell if security is turned on, in LSF10?

I used to be able just look at the top of the screen in LAUA, and it would tell me if security was ON or OFF. Since we no longer have LAUA, is there an easy way to check?

You should be able to log into Lawson security administrator, server management, server, security checking and if it is green, security is ON, if it is red, security if OFF.

No, I'm talking about the security itself - for the entire environment. That screen that you are talking about - that is for specific product lines.

To turn it off and on we use lsconfig -c in LID. In LSF9 we would use -lawsec ON / lawsec OFF command. And when you logged into LAUA, you would see SECURITY ON or SECURITY OFF at the top.

Now we use the lsconfig command instead of lawsec. So seems like there should be somewhere in LID to show that the security is ON or OFF.

It does. After you turn the security off using lsconfig -c in LID, you just need to wait until your caching cycle ends and then, check, it will turn red.

Okay, I guess that could be - I've not seen that happen. I found what I want though....lsconfig -l. Quicker (to me) than logging into LawSec and navigating to that screen.

Every morning I check our systems. Quick login via LID. Then I run the command, "lawsec". No flags, nothing. Here's the result:

-> Security is on: "Security Violation" (I haven't given access to the account I check it with)

-> Security is off: "Lawson Security Is Off."

This is the quickest way I can check. It could even be automated & emailed, I suppose.

Good to know this. But I am seeing something weird. When I log into security administrator, the color is green, which means, the security is ON. I typed in lsconfig -l, it says, SECURITY CHECKING:ON, when I logged in as a user, with no access and typed in lawsec, it says "Security Violation". Good so far. But when I log in as a user with security and type in lawsec, it is saying "Lawson Security is OFF".

All I can add to what I wrote earlier, is that when I went specifically into Lawson Security Administrator, went to the Server Management selection (on the left), click on "Server", then selected the "Security Checking" tab, I found something I didn't expect. In our instance where security is turned on, it shows that for every system code for every product line, it's possible to individually turn security on or off. That's pretty neat. Maybe your security settings are that specific? Anyway, other than that, 'Nuff said.

Milo, I get "security violation" whenever I try to run "lawsec". Even with the Lawson account - and that account is pretty much God here. I actually had assumed that that command was just no longer valid in 10.0xxx.

As to this...

We don't turn off security at the system code level, that's way too much to keep track of, LOL. But yes I was aware of the ability.

I don't get no respect either. I get the "Security Violation" also when I log on as user 'Lawson'. That's why I mentioned that phrase, not, "Lawson Security is On". It isn't worth my time to get it changed, even though I'm certain that it's just some sort of security setting, because it's just telling me that security is On. Which is all I'm checking for in the morning.

I get "Security Violation" no matter who I log in as. I can't even find an object for "lawsec" in the Security Administrator...not in any of the profiles. It must exist - somewhere - otherwise I would get a different response (such as "not found" ). Anyone have any ideas where to look? I would love to have that command back.
