# swinstall –s /tmp/OpenSSL*.depot fips_1_1_2
The swinstall command installs the OpenSSL software in the /opt/openssl directory.
It places the sample codes in the /opt/openssl/src and /opt/openssl/fips/0.9.8/
src directories.
To install the FIPS Capable OpenSSL product (FIPS 1.2 object module and 0.9.8k based FIPS
Compatible OpenSSL) only, enter the following command:
# swinstall -s /tmp/OpenSSL*.depot fips_1_2
The swinstall command installs the OpenSSL software in the /opt/openssl directory.
It places the sample codes in the /opt/openssl/src and /opt/openssl/fips/0.9.8/
src directories.
IMPORTANT: You cannot install OpenSSL A.00.09.07m or A.00.09.08k on a system containing
HP-UX Internet Express OpenSSL 0.9.7c. If HP-UX Internet Express OpenSSL 0.9.7c software is
installed on your system, you must remove it before installing OpenSSL A.00.09.07m or
A.00.09.08k.
NOTE: On HP-UX 11i v1 systems without /dev/random, the prngd server is started
automatically. A random number generator (either /dev/random or prngd) is required to
generate keys and certificates.
