HP-UX Software Assistant Reference (November, 2010)

The URL of the CRL. See the crl_check option for more information. If you are behind a
proxy server, you will need to configure the proxy information for the protocol being used to
download the CRL.
-x download_cmd=
Usage: Intermediate
Applicable steps: catalog, download
The download_cmd extended option can be used to override the default SWA download
commands, and therefore the protocols SWA uses to download the catalog and patch files.
The command is enclosed in single quotes ('). This option is useful in cases where a system
does not have a direct connection to the Internet, but can execute a command that can download
a URL from the Internet (for example, by using a gateway machine).
Using this option overrides many options which are used by the internal SWA download
functionality, including proxy and CRL configuration.
The command specified with this option must:
• Take one argument supplied by SWA: the URL of the file content to download.
• Output the retrieved file content to standard output.
The download command extended option will always be run with elevated privileges.
If the actual command in your environment behaves differently, it can be wrapped by a shell
script in order to provide the interface that SWA needs.
Note: Programs like wget, curl, and Perl's GET can be used to pass the contents of a URL
to standard output. These commands may provide support for different types of proxies or can
be used with ssh to work with a gateway server. The GET command provides basic
functionality. The wget and curl commands provide extended functionality and are provided
with HP-UX 11i Internet Express (see http://www.hp.com/go/internetexpress). All three of
these commands are available for operating systems other than HP-UX, such as Linux and
Windows. For example, some external commands can authenticate using Windows NT®-based
domain passwords to a Microsoft® web proxy, which is not directly supported by SWA.
-x ftp_proxy=${proxy}
Usage: Advanced
Applicable steps: catalog, download
This option specifies the proxy host and port (with optional HTTP basic authentication username
and password) for accessing content using the FTP protocol. No proxy information is specified
by default.
The following format is used:
service://[user:password@]proxy-server:port
For example: ftp_proxy=http://web-proxy.mycompany.com:8088
You may use ${proxy} for this option value. It will be replaced with the value of the proxy
option (which is not set by default).
-x hp_id=
Usage: Advanced
Use this option to specify your ITRC User ID to gain access to the ITRC patch database.
-x hp_pw=
Usage: Advanced
Use this option in conjunction with hp_id to specify your ITRC password.
