Post-Installation Migration Instructions

 

 

Configuration File

 

 

HP-UX IPSec version A.02.00 stores configuration data in a configuration database

 

 

instead of a policy file. To migrate a policy configuration file from an earlier version of

 

 

HP-UX IPSec to an A.02.00 configuration database, use the following procedure.

Step

1.

Run the ipsec_migrate utility after you have installed HP-UX IPSec A.02.00. For

 

 

example:

 

 

/usr/sbin/ipsec_migrate -s config_file -d new_config_file

 

 

Where:

 

 

config_file is the name of the input policy file to migrate, such as

 

 

/var/adm/policies.txt.

 

 

new_config_file is the name of the name of the output configuration database file.

 

 

The ipsec_migrate utility converts policy configuration files (such as

 

 

/var/adm/ipsec/policies.txt) created using versions prior to A.02.00 to

 

 

configuration database entries. For more information, refer to the ipsec_migrate (1M)

 

 

man page.

Step

2.

After you have migrated the policy configuration file, copy it to the following location:

 

 

/var/adm/ipsec/config.db

Step

3.

Examine the contents of the configuration database using the following command:

 

 

ipsec_config show all

Step

4.

Modify the configuration database, if necessary, using the ipsec_config delete and

 

 

ipsec_config add commands. Refer to the ipsec_config (1M) man page for more

 

 

information.

Step

5.

The ipsec_migrate utility does not configure the autoboot option. If you want HP-UX

 

 

IPSec to automatically start at system start-up time, use the following command to

 

 

enable the autoboot option:

 

 

ipsec_config add startup -autoboot on

Step

6.

Start HP-UX IPSec:

ipsec_admin -start
