where:
v
qualifier_name
is an optional attribute for the prerequisite property that IBM
Prerequisite Scanner uses to qualify the prerequisite property or type of check to
perform on the prerequisite property.
v
qualifier_value
is the value for the optional attribute.
The value for the qualifier can also be a name value pair to support multiple
valid values depending upon user type. For example, different paths for the
home directory depending up whether it is a root or non-root user.
v
property_value
is the value for the prerequisite property and it can be a string or
integer.
Each qualifier and its value must be delimited by a
:
colon. You can have multiple
qualifiers, each separated by a comma. The set of qualifiers must be enclosed by
[]
square brackets.
Table 5 outlines the predefined qualifiers for different categories of prerequisite
properties. Some prerequisite properties also use predefined subtypes to further
categorize a prerequisite property.
Important:
You cannot use the predefined qualifiers with other predefined
prerequisite properties.
