Using Certificates with HP-UX IPSec

Configuring Authentication Records with IKE IDs

 

Determining the IPv4 Address in the SubjectAlternativeName

 

You can use the following procedures to determine the

 

SubjectAlternativeName for the local system’s certificate.

 

VeriSign To determine the SubjectAlternativeName for a VeriSign

ipsec_mgr Certificates screen, then click Details. The Subject box

 

contains the SubjectName, followed by the SubjectAlternativeName

VeriSign SubjectAlternativeName

Baltimore The IPv4 address in the SubjectAlternativeName field is the IPv4 address specified in the certificate request form of the Registration Authority Operator (RAO) utility. If you did not request the certificate, or do not remember the IPv4 address, contact the Baltimore CA Administrator.

Syntax

You can use the following ipsec_config add auth syntax to configure authentication records with ID information in most installations:

ipsec_config add auth auth_name

-remoteip_addr[/prefix]

[-ltype local_id_type] [-lid local_id] [-rtype remote_id_type] [-rid remote_id]

HP recommends that you use an ipsec_config batch file to configure HP-UX IPSec. To specify an add auth operation for an ipsec_config batch file, use the above syntax without the ipsec_config command name:
