3. Be sure you have root access and are designated the network
security administrator.
4. If you are migrating from a previous version of HP-UX IPSec, be sure
you have completed the procedures in Appendix B, “Pre-Installation
Migration Instructions” on page 289.
5. If you are using security certificates (RSA signatures) for IKE
authentication, be sure you have access to a graphical display, either
on your system, a remote HP-UX workstation, or a remote display
device.
6. If you are using security certificates for IKE authentication, ensure
that you are registered and can communicate with a certificate
authority.
