Compatibility Information and Installation Requirements
Installation Requirements
Before you install the server, it is recommended that you:
• Ensure that you have the HP-UX 11i v2 operating system installed on your system. You
can check the version of the HP-UX operating system by using the uname -r command.
• Ensure that the Kerberos Server is installed on a system that is physically secure and has
restricted access to it. If necessary, ascertain that the system, on which you install the
Kerberos Server, is kept under lock and key.
• Disable all the network services, such as ftp, telnet, rlogin, finger, to restrict access
to the machine. You can do this, by modifying the /etc/inetd.conf file to deactivate
non-kerberized services. You must restart the inetd daemon after you make these
changes.
• Ensure that the file system is protected with proper permissions in order to restrict the
non-root users from accessing and manipulating the Kerberos Server maintained files,
such as cache files and stash files.
• Ensure that the /opt/krb5/krb5_ldap.conf file is protected with proper permissions in
order to restrict the non-root users from accessing and manipulating this file.
