Step 9: Configuring HP-UX IPSec to Start
Automatically
After you have verified your HP-UX IPSec configuration is properly
operating, you can configure HP-UX IPSec so that it starts automatically
at system startup time.
TIP HP recommends that you configure HP-UX IPSec to start automatically
at system startup time once you have a known, good HP-UX IPSec
configuration. This allows HP-UX IPSec to secure your system at all
times.
ipsec_config add startup Syntax
Use the following ipsec_config add startup syntax to configure
HP-UX IPSec to start automatically at system startup time:
ipsec_config add startup -autoboot ON
The complete ipsec_config add startup 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)
• auditlvl (audit level)
• auditdir (audit directory)
• maxsize (maximum audit file size)
• spi_min (lower bound for inbound, dynamic Security Parameters
Index)
• spi_max (upper bound for inbound, dynamic key Security
Parameters Index)
• spd_soft (the “soft” limit for the size of the Security Policy
Database)
