SecurityExt Bundle
The bundle SecurityExt delivers HP-UX 11i Security Containment as well as HP-UX
Role-based Access Control (RBAC). (For more information about RBAC, see “HP-UX
Role-based Access Control” on page 138.)
HP-UX 11i Security Containment introduces three core technologies: compartments,
fine-grained privileges, and role-based access control. Together, these three components
provide a highly secure operating environment without requiring applications to be
modified. In addition, HP-UX 11i Security Containment makes several trusted mode
security features available on standard mode HP-UX systems. These features are called
the HP-UX Standard Mode Security Extensions.
The SecurityExt bundle is available on the Software Pack (SPK) media for June 2006.
For more information about SPK, see “Software Pack (Optional HP-UX 11i v2 Core
Enhancements)” on page 27.
