Step 9: Configuring HP-UX IPSec to Start Automatically

After you have verified your HP-UX IPSec configuration is properly operating, you can configure HP-UX IPSec so that it starts automatically at system startup time.

HP recommends that you configure HP-UX IPSec to start automatically at system startup time once you have a known, good HP-UX IPSec configuration. This allows HP-UX IPSec to secure your system at all times.

ipsec_config add startup Syntax

Use the following ipsec_config add startup syntax to configure HP-UX IPSec to start automatically at system startup time:

ipsec_config add startup -autoboot ON

To specify an add startup operation for an ipsec_config batch file, use the above syntax without the ipsec_config command name:

add startup -autoboot ON

The full ipsec_config add startup syntax specification also allows you to specify the following arguments:

nocommit (verify the syntax but do not commit the information to the database)

profile (alternate profile file)

auditlvl (audit level)

auditdir (audit directory)

maxsize (maximum audit file size)

spi_min (lower bound for inbound, dynamic Security Parameters Index)
