What's new in this release
This release of Policy Auditor includes the following new features or enhancements:
• AIX Support — Policy Auditor can audit systems running AIX 5.3 and 6.1 on Power5 and
Power6 processor architectures.
• Findings — Findings are audit results that include additional information about the state
of a system that is helpful to security officers and network administrators when fixing issues.
Findings can include three types of information:
• Violations — Reporting violations provides more information in the audit results. For
example, if an audit expects a password with at least 8 characters but finds a password
with only 6 characters, the audit shows the actual and expected results. Since an audit
may report thousands of violations. Policy Auditor establishes a violation limit that reduces
the number of violations that can be displayed to conserve database resources.
