fips
Enables FIPS mode on Ivanti EPMM.
The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2 is a U.S. government computer security standard used to accredit cryptographic modules. FIPS 140-2 defines four levels of security, simply named "Level 1" to "Level 4". It does not specify in detail what level of security is required by any particular application. Ivanti EPMM products are FIPS 140-2 Level 1 Compliant.
Enabling FIPS mode results in Ivanti EPMM changing the selected TLS protocol version for incoming connections to TLS 1.2 and the disabled TLS versions to TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1. For outgoing connections, the selected and disabled lists remain unchanged. See "Advanced: Incoming SSL Configuration" and "Advanced: Outgoing SSL Configuration" in the Ivanti EPMM System Manager Guide.
Example
/config#fips

You can also configure the ACLs in the Ivanti EPMM System Manager Security > Access Control Lists page, described in “Access Control Lists” in the Ivanti EPMM System Manager Guide.
Example
/config#portalacl MyPhoneAtWork 10.101.1.119
randomizer
This command configures a random source. Requires a system reload.
|
Parameter |
Description |
|
random |
Using /dev/random may require waiting for the result, as it uses a so-called entropy pool, where random data may not be available at the moment. /dev/random should be suitable for uses that need very high quality randomness such as one-time pad or key generation. When the entropy pool is empty, reads from /dev/random will block until additional environmental noise is gathered. |
|
urandom |
/dev/urandom returns as many bytes as user requested and thus it is less random than /dev/random. A read from the /dev/urandom device will not block waiting for more entropy. As a result, if there is not sufficient entropy in the entropy pool, the returned values are theoretically vulnerable to a cryptographic attack on the algorithms used by the driver. Knowledge of how to do this is not available in the current unclassified literature, but it is theoretically possible that such an attack may exist. If this is a concern in your application, use /dev/random instead. |
Example
/config#randomizer urandom
reset-devshell-password
This command resets the devshell password.
Example
/config#reset-devshell-password
2+0 records in
2+0 records out
1024 bytes (1.0 kB) copied, 0.000208748 s, 4.9 MB/s
2+0 records in
2+0 records out
1024 bytes (1.0 kB) copied, 0.00016912 s, 6.1 MB/s
devshell password reset successfully.
resize_boot_partition
Increases the boot partition size to 1 GB. Executing this command stops all Ivanti EPMM services, and must be followed by a Ivanti EPMM reload. See reload.
Example
/config#resize_boot_partition
service
Enables the service ssh or ntp. For ssh, this command also sets the number of instances allowed for the service.
|
Parameter |

sshd_authorized_key
Use this command to enable SSH public key authorization for a CLI user. With this command, you provide Ivanti EPMM with the public key of a SSH public/private key pair. Providing the public key allows a CLI user to use SSH to connect to Ivanti EPMM using the matching private key rather than with a password.
You can enable public key authorization only for the administrator user that you use to log into the CLI session. Each administrator user can have only one public key. If you enable public key authorization with a second public key, the first public key is overwritten.
Procedure
To enable SSH public key authorization, do the following in CONFIG mode:
-
Enter sshd_authorized_key.
-
When prompted, paste the public key.
-
Press Enter.
-
When prompted to save the configuration, enter yes.
Example
asdfasd/config#sshd_authorized_key
Please provide the public key and press enter: ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQCnFsywrE7Q6kGU+uVFKCLaY4/XlgXtxB1pUQAOPJjKRZukn5zfdbGmLqGaJWjWc7TRMTkbPegV4skPW1ddIcUXNuV79Mfbco4sFJkLFr4Qg7xKQUyo/kk47otSE2HRq4EUoTxfN5UeEuD81WEeU3aqdH6RcrIx0gkdvteFbUuSacWorRw4xoskySYplWeLTva4IgERPXI5jkydBF/uH14B3R1V/TzIxo914xW08o6C0dC/A/bnbPzAnvlngOdskGikUDOQ29jXqvHhrw9jnAWPYcq7vsJfNi2b/6AIAeKVcEZkLOuul1i9WtkePXX1k4lXR8e8lBI2MPhXOfiSIDGx admin

Confirm to add to the authorized keys (y/n): y
Done adding to the authorized keys.
statichost
A static host configuration maps a fully-qualified domain name to an IP address. This static mapping is useful in the following cases:
- A DNS server is not available.
- The DNS server entry for a fully-qualified domain name points to an external IP address, outside of your firewall, although the ultimate destination is inside your firewall. You can use this static mapping if you want to associate the fully-qualified domain name with an internal IP address, inside your firewall.
You can also configure static hosts using the Ivanti EPMM System Manager Settings > Static Hosts page, described in “Static Hosts” in the Ivanti EPMM System Manager Guide.
Specify the following parameters:
|
Parameter |
Description |
|
ip |
IP address of the fully-qualified domain name. |
|
fqdn |
The fully-qualified domain name. |
Example
/config#statichost 172.16.80.2 mysentry.mycompany.com
syslog
Configures syslog server information.
|
Parameter |
Description |
|
server |
Hostname or IP address of the syslog server |
|
loglevel |
Specify the log level to be enabled (0-7) |
The log level value you specify in this command corresponds to the following log levels:
|

You can also configure the syslog servers in the Ivanti Ivanti EPMM System Manager Settings > Data Export > Syslog Servers page, described in “Syslog” in the Ivanti EPMM System Manager Guide.
system user
Creates a Ivanti EPMM System Manager user account. Specify the following parameters:.
|
Parameter |
Description |
|
username |
User name |
|
password |
The unencrypted (cleartext) user password |
You can also configure Ivanti EPMM System Manager users in the Ivanti EPMM System Manager, in Security > Identity Source > Local Users, described in “Identity Source > Local Users” in the Ivanti EPMM System Manager Guide.
system aspm
Sets a kernel boot parameter (pcie_aspm) to turn off the PCIe Active State Power Management (ASPM) subsystem on Ivanti EPMM physical appliances.
Turning off the PCIe ASPM subsystem is necessary if Ivanti EPMM physical appliances lose connectivity because of issues in some e1000e interface drivers. These faulty drivers erroneously go off-line and stay off-line when the PCIe ASPM subsystem puts the driver into low power mode. When the driver is off-line, Ivanti EPMM physical appliances that use the driver, such as the M2100 Gen 3 or M2200, lose connectivity. Because the PCIe ASPM subsystem’s capability to save power is not applicable to Ivanti EPMM appliances, turning off the subsystem solves the interface driver issue with no impact to Ivanti EPMM behavior.
The setting persists across reboots. However, it does not persist after a Ivanti EPMM upgrade if the upgrade includes an upgrade to the kernel. Re-execute the command after such an upgrade.
x-frame
This command sets the XFrame configuration for Hypertext Transfer Protocol daemon (HTTPd), that is, your web server. The X-Frame options can be used to indicate whether or not a browser should be allowed to render a page in a <frame>, <iframe>, <embed> or <object>. Sites can use this to avoid click-jacking attacks, by ensuring that their content is not embedded into other sites.
|
Parameter |
Description |
|
SameOrigin |
The page can only be displayed in a frame on the same origin as the page itself. The spec leaves it up to browser vendors to decide whether this option applies to the top level, the parent, or the whole chain, although it is argued that the option is not very useful unless all ancestors are also in the same origin. |
|
Deny |
The page cannot be displayed in a frame, regardless of the site attempting to do so. |
|
Allow-From |
This is an obsolete directive that no longer works in modern browsers. Don't use it. In supporting legacy browsers, a page can be displayed in a frame only on the specified origin URI. |
