HP-UX IPSec version A.02.01 Administrator's Guide

Configuring HP-UX IPSec
Step 4: Configuring Preshared Keys Using Authentication Records
Chapter 4134
HP recommends that you use an ipsec_config batch file to configure
HP-UX IPSec. To specify an add auth operation for an ipsec_config
batch file, use the above syntax without the ipsec_config command
name:
add auth
auth_name
-remote
ip_addr [/ prefix ] [-exchange|x AM|MM][-ltype
local_id_type] [-lid local_id]
[-rtype remote_id_type] [-rid remote_id]-preshared
preshared_key
The complete ipsec_config add auth syntax specification also allows
you to specify the following arguments:
• nocommit (verify the syntax but do not commit the information to the
database)
• profile (alternate profile file)
Refer to the ipsec_config_add (1M) manpage for complete syntax
information.
auth_name
The auth_name user-defined name for the authentication record. This
name must be unique for each record and is case-sensitive.
Acceptable Values: 1 - 63 characters. Each character must be an ASCII
alphanumeric character, hyphen (-), or underscore (_).
-remote
ip_addr [/ prefix ]
The ip_addr and
prefix are the IP address and network prefix length
that specifies the remote system or subnet for this record. Each
ip_addr
and
prefix combination (the significant bits of ip_addr , as specified by
prefix ) must be unique.
If the remote system's IP address matches multiple IP address and prefix
combinations, HP-UX IPSec uses the authentication record with the
most specific address (longest prefix length).
Where:
ip_addr The ip_addr is the remote IP address.
Acceptable Values: An IPv4 address in dotted-decimal notation or an
IPv6 address in colon-hexadecimal notation. The IP address type (IPv4
or IPv6) must be the same for the source and destination address.
