Step 3: Establishing the HP-UX IPSec
Password
You must set the HP-UX IPSec password after installing the product.
HP-UX IPSec uses the password to encrypt configuration information.
Use the following command to establish the HP-UX IPSec password:
ipsec_admin -newpasswd
The ipsec_admin utility prompts you to establish the HP-UX IPSec
password:
IPSEC_ADMIN: Establishing IPsec password, enter IPsec
password:
Enter a password. The password must be at least 15 characters long and
cannot contain spaces.
The ipsec_admin utility will prompt you to enter the new password a
second time (IPSEC_ADMIN: Re-enter password to verify). Enter the
new password again.
Re-establishing the HP-UX IPSec Password
If you have forgotten the HP-UX IPSec password and are using security
certificates for IKE authentication, use the procedure described
“Re-establishing the HP-UX IPSec Password” on page 186 to re-establish
the password.
