Configuration
After you have installed or updated your HP-UX HIDS software, you
need to complete the configuration with the required and optional steps
that are described in Chapter 2 of Host Intrusion Detection System
Administrator’s Guide, Software Release 4.0. The following is an
annotated list of some of the sections in chapter 2 of that guide.
Required
Before you can run HP-UX HIDS, you must complete the configuration
step described in the section "Setting Up the HP-UX HIDS Secure
Communications” in the Host Intrusion Detection System
Administrator’s Guide.
You might need to create keys and certificates to ensure secure
communication between the administration system and the agent
systems.
If you are upgrading from Release 2.x or 3.x, your old keys and
certificates are preserved.
Optional
You might also need to complete one or more of the following steps:
• Configuring a multihomed agent system
If you have an agent system with more than one IP address, you
might need to specify the correct address to the agent and
administration software.
• Configuring a multihomed administration system
If you have an administration system with more than one IP address,
you might need to specify the correct address to the agent and
administration software.
• Enabling over 23 agents (Thread Limits)
With more than 23 agent systems active at one time, you will need to
increase the thread limit.
