Installation manual

Appendix B. Manually installing SSL security capability on

AIX

If you intend to use an AIX server to support secure connections from clients, you

must install additional files.

Before installing the AIX server security files over an existing installation, remove

all lib*.so files from the hostondemand/bin directory.

Note: If you are running AIX 4.2, you must first upgrade to AIX 4.3, uninstall the

previous version of Host On-Demand, and install Host On-Demand Version

6 using the hod60srv.AIX43.SSL.tar file.

You must also install JDK 1.1.8 or 1.3.

The following steps assume you are using the default server and publish

directories. To install the security files:

1. Enter the following commands to unpack the main file:

cd /usr/opt/hostondemand

tar -xf /cdrom/tar/HOD60AIX.tar

2. The file extracted from HOD60AIX.tar is hod60srv.AIX43.SSL.tar. This file

contains security files to be added to the server directory of an AIX 4.3

installation.

3. To add the extra files to the installation, untar the hod60srv.AIX43.SSL.tar file to

the server directory. Enter the following commands:

cd /usr/opt/server_directory

rm bin/lib*.so

tar -xf ./hod60srv.AIX43.SSL.tar

4. The GSK security library must also be installed. To extract the installp images,

enter the following commands:

cd /cdrom/tar/
