Configuring and Administering Secure RPC
(if NIS+ is not used)
Configuring secure RPC allows you to write applications that use secure
RPC. You must be running NIS in order to use secure RPC.
If you are using NIS+, your secure RPC credentials are created and
updated when you configure and administer your NIS+ domain. Follow
the procedures in this section only if you are using NIS and not NIS+.
NOTE Secure NFS, the ability to export and mount directories with the secure
option, is not supported on HP-UX.
Configuring and administering secure RPC involves the following tasks:
• To Have Users Create their Secure RPC Keys
or
To Create Secure RPC Keys for Users
• To Create Secure RPC Keys for Hosts
• To Tell Users How to Use Secure RPC
