Understanding Security Demos in Playbooks

Overview of Security Demos

Security Demos showcase various security-related tasks that can be automated using Ansible modules for IBM Power Systems AIX. These demos are essential for understanding how to implement and manage security features on AIX systems using Ansible.

How to Use Security Demos

Security Demos are used by running specific playbooks that demonstrate tasks such as managing PKS, converting volumes to encrypted states, displaying encryption status, and managing security settings. Each playbook is designed to showcase a particular aspect of security management on AIX systems.

Examples of Security Demos

The playbooks/demo_hdcrypt_pks.yml playbook demonstrates how to manage PKS (Public Key Security) on AIX systems. It includes tasks for adding PKS to a filesystem, displaying PKS key status, exporting and importing PKS keys, and cleaning invalid PKS keys. The playbooks/demo_hdcrypt_conv.yml playbook focuses on converting logical volumes (LVs) and physical volumes (PVs) to encrypted and unencrypted states. The playbooks/demo_hdcrypt_facts.yml playbook is used to display encryption status information. The playbooks/demo_chsec.yml playbook demonstrates how to manage security settings on AIX systems.

The playbooks/demo_hdcrypt_conv.yml playbook focuses on converting logical volumes (LVs) and physical volumes (PVs) to encrypted and unencrypted states. It includes tasks for encrypting and decrypting individual LVs, all LVs in a volume group (VG), and multiple PVs.

---
- name: "Demo hdcrypt conv"
  hosts: "{{ hosts_val }}"
  gather_facts: false
  vars:

The playbooks/demo_hdcrypt_facts.yml playbook is used to display encryption status information. It includes tasks for displaying the encryption status of LVs, VGs, and PVs, as well as meta facts and active or stopped conversions.

---
- name: "Demo hdcrypt facts"
  hosts: "{{ hosts_val }}"
  gather_facts: false
  vars:

---

The playbooks/demo_chsec.yml playbook demonstrates how to manage security settings on AIX systems. It includes tasks for adding registry files for a user, changing login times, removing registry attributes, locking system user accounts, changing CPU time limits, allowing users to switch using the su command, and setting password rules.

---
- name: CHSEC on AIX
  hosts: "{{host_name}}"
  gather_facts: false
  vars:
