HP-UX Bastille Version B.3.3 User Guide
A Install-Time Security (ITS) using HP-UX Bastille
Install-Time Security (ITS) adds a security step to the installation or update process. This additional
step allows the HP-UX Bastille security lock-down engine to run during system installation with
one of four configurations ranging from default security to DMZ. ITS includes the following
bundles:
• Sec00Tools (recommended software bundle)
• Sec10Host (optional software bundle)
• Sec20MngDMZ (optional software bundle)
• Sec30DMZ (optional software bundle)
A.1 Choosing security levels
At cold install or update time, you can choose one of the security levels listed in Table A-1. Each
level provides incrementally higher security.

Configuration files are installed in /etc/opt/sec_mgmt/bastille/configs/defaults.
2 Sec00Tools is installed by default.
3 Sec10Host, Sec20MngDMZ, and Sec30DMZ are selectable.
NOTE: When you select either the Sec20MngDMZ or Sec30DMZ security level, IPFilter restricts
inbound network connections. For more information on how to add inbound ports to your /etc/
opt/ipf.customerrules file, see the HP-UX IPFilter (Version A.03.05.09 and later)
Administrator's Guide and the HP-UX System Administrator's Guide.
Using one of these security levels applies a default security profile, simplifying the lock-down
process. The following tables list the services and protocols affected by each security level.
