Security HP-UX 11i Security Containment HP-UX 11i Security Containment HP-UX 11i Security Containment provides the next generation of security features including the following: • Compartments • Fine-grained privileges • HP-UX Role-Based Access Control (HP-UX RBAC) • HP-UX Auditing System • Standard Mode Security Extensions HP-UX 11i Security Containment is only available on the Web at http://software.hp.com and is expected to release in the near future.
Security HP-UX 11i Security Containment Impact By default, none of the features is active upon installation. You must manually activate containment features before use. Compatibility When configuring Security Containment, you must ensure that the resources and permissions needed by the applications you wish to run are consistent with the Security Containment settings you chose. Failure to do so can result in application degradation or malfunction.
Security HP-UX Auditing System HP-UX Auditing System The purpose of the HP-UX Auditing System is to record security relevant events for analysis. This information helps you detect repeated attempts to breach security. Thus, the HP-UX Auditing System acts as a deterrent against system abuses and exposes potential security weaknesses. Summary of Change Previously, the HP-UX Auditing System was only supported on systems converted to trusted mode.
Security HP-UX Host Intrusion Detection System Performance There are no known performance issues. Documentation For further information, refer to the following manpages: • • • • • • audit (5) audusr (1M) getauduser (3) setauduser (3) pam_hpsec (5) pam.
Security HP-UX Host Intrusion Detection System — Template consolidation and property changes in HIDS Release 3.0: Prior to this version of HIDS, the functionality of the “Monitor Logins/Logouts” template and the “Monitor Start of Interactive Sessions” overlapped each other. This overlapping functionality has been rectified in HIDS Release 3.0 and the two templates have been consolidated into a single template called the “Monitoring Logins/Logouts” template.
Security HP-UX Host Intrusion Detection System Performance HP-UX HIDS Release 3.0 provides significant reduction in CPU consumption and better performance throughput by the HIDS idscor correlator process. HP-UX HIDS Release 3.1 performance is not changed, and the performance remains same as in Release 3.0.
