Disk and File Management HP CIFS Client HP CIFS Client CIFS is the native networking protocol on Microsoft Windows operating systems. The HP CIFS products provide a wide range of integration strategies for HP-UX and Windows. The HP CIFS Client enables the HP-UX host to mount directories shared by remote CIFS servers (Windows, HP-UX, and other server platforms on which CIFS has been implemented).
Disk and File Management HP CIFS Client This option allows users to log out from all current CIFS login sessions. This is particularly useful in environments which use the CIFS Client’s Distributed File System feature (DFS), wherein several CIFS logins can be created in the background as users traverse a DFS tree. • Make 32-bit errors default The CIFS Client now uses 32-bit error codes with the CIFS servers by default, rather than the older DOS error class.
Disk and File Management HP CIFS Server Documentation For more information, refer to the following documentation, which can be found at http://docs.hp.com/en/netcom.html (navigate to CIFS): • User Manual: HP CIFS client A.02.02 Administrator’s Guide • Product Release Note: HP CIFS Client A.02.02 Release Note • Product Release Note: HP CIFS Client A.02.02.

Security HP-UX Bastille HP-UX Bastille HP-UX Bastille is a security hardening/lockdown tool which can be used to enhance the security of the HP-UX operating system. It provides customized lockdown on a system-by-system basis by encoding functionality similar to the Bastion Host and other hardening/lockdown checklists. Bastille was originally developed by the open source community for use on Linux systems.
Security HP-UX Host Intrusion Detection System Impact These represent additional items that Bastille will be able to lock down, additional usability improvements, and a new ability for Bastille to ensure that each cluster node has a consistent set of security settings. Compatibility There are no differences between the Itanium-based and PA-RISC implementation (they are the same). Some products depend on services, system settings, or network ports that Bastille secures.
Security HP-UX Host Intrusion Detection System targeted at specific hosts. Since there are many types of attacks that can bypass network-based detection systems, HP-UX HIDS Release 4.1 complements existing network-based security mechanisms, bolstering enterprise security. Summary of Change HP-UX HIDS Release 4.

Install-Time Security Install-Time Security (ITS) version 1.4.x adds a security step to the install/update process that allows you to run the Bastille security lockdown engine during system Installation with one of four configurations ranging from default security to DMZ.
Security OpenSSL Bastille may change, document their dependency. Where practical, Bastille also documents these dependencies. HP-UX 11i v2 Installation and Update Guide, available at http://www.docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv2.html, discusses which particular Bastille settings are applied at each level. Performance ITS does not impact performance, but if the DMZ or MngDMZ levels are used, there may be a very small network performance slowdown due to the IPFilter packet filtering.
Security OpenSSL Summary of Change OpenSSL A.00.09.07l.003 supports X.509 and X.509v3 certificates. This version of OpenSSL also includes some defects fixed in the open source OpenSSL 0.9.7l and 0.9.8d product.

Security HP-UX Role-based Access Control Obsolescence Not applicable. HP-UX Role-based Access Control HP-UX Role-based Access Control (RBAC) is an alternative to the traditional “all-or-nothing” root user model, which grants permissions to the root user for all operations, and denies permissions to non-root users for certain operations. HP-UX RBAC allows you to distribute administrative responsibilities by creating roles with appropriate authorizations and assigning them to non-root users and groups.
