For the HP-UX 11i v3 operating system, the WU-FTPD 2.6.1 software bundle provides
the FTP server and the SSL libraries as a single product. So no additional software
is required to be installed on the system.
3. Configure OpenSSL and generate X.509 certificates and keys before starting the
FTP server.
4. Enable TLS configuration for the FTP server using either of the following methods:
• Using -z command-line option in ftpd(1M).
• Using the TLS configuration file. To use the configuration file, specify the following
option as part of the command-line argument for ftpd(1M):
ftpd –z config=/etc/ftpd/security/tls.conf
5. Use one or more of the following options to configure TLS:
allow_auth_ssl
bad_auth_ssl_reply
certsok
clientcert
logalldata
protect_user/tlsonly
tlsdata
usetls
CAfile=file
CApath=dir
authmode=OPTION
cert/rsacert=file
certpass=OPTION
cipher=OPTION
config=file
crlfile=file
crldir=dir
debug=level
dhparam=file
dsacert=file
dsakey=file
key/rsakey=file
password=value
randfile=file
systemcertdir=dir
For information on the configuration options, see ftpd(1M).
NOTE: The TLS configuration flag usetls enables TLS security mechanism in ftpd(1M).
Therefore, if you do not enable this flag, you cannot configure ftpd(1M) with TLS even
if you enable all other TLS configuration flags and options.
Configuring an FTP Client in a TLS/SSL Environment
To configure an FTP client in a TLS/SSL environment, complete the following steps:
