The remote communication configuration section lies between the [RemoteSA] and

CAUTION Do not edit any other variables between [RemoteSA] and its [END] tag.
They are defined as follows:
IDS_CONNECT_TIMEOUT
The timeout value in seconds for the agent to complete a network
connection with the administration system.
IDS_READ_TIMEOUT
The timeout value in seconds for the agent to complete a network read

IDS_WRITE_TIMEOUT
The timeout value in seconds for the agent to complete a network write
operation to the administration system.
IDS_SSL_TIMEOUT
The timeout value in seconds for the agent to complete a Secure

REMOTEHOST
The IP address or host name associated with the administration
system's network interface card. This entry is set to the host name
passed to the IDS_importAgentKeys script when the script is run. See
“Configuring a Multihomed Administration System” on page 27 and
“Setting Up the HP-UX HIDS Secure Communications” on page 20
On a multihomed administration system (one with two or more IP
addresses), this is the address through which idsagent should
communicate with idsgui on the administration system. If a host
name is specified, it must resolve to a unique IP address for the
