Step 1: Starting the ipsec_mgr Configuration Utility

At the HP-UX prompt, enter the following command:

ipsec_mgr

This utility cannot be run as a background process because the HP-UX IPSec password is prompted.

If no password has been set, you must create one using the ipsec_admin command. See “Step 4: Setting the HP-UX IPSec Password” for instructions.

	NOTE: The ipsec_mgr configuration GUI requires a graphical display device. If you are using a remote graphical display device, be sure that you: Execute the ipsec_mgr program from the system console. Set the DISPLAY environment variable to your display device. For example, if you are using the KORN shell, the command is:       export DISPLAY=display_device:0.0

The main ipsec_mgr screen appears.

Select the IPSec Policies tab on the ipsec_mgr screen to display existing HP-UX IPSec policies.

The configuration files for HP-UX IPSec are stored in the /var/adm/ipsec directory. They include:

Alternate (multiple) policy files can exist for the policies.txt file only. You can open a previously created IPSec policy file by choosing Open from the File menu.

Go on to “Step 2A: Configuring the IPSec Policy Filter”.
