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.
Step 4: Completing Post-Installation migration requirements
If you are migrating from a previous version of HP-UX IPSec, run the ipsec_migrate utility and
complete other post-installation migration procedures, as described in Appendix C, “Post-Installation
Migration Instructions” (page 179).
