HP-UX AAA Server A.06.02 Administrator's Guide: HP-UX 11i v1 and 11i v2 > Chapter 1 Overview:
The HP-UX AAA Server
Product Structure |
|
|
The HP-UX AAA Server is based on a client/server architecture. The HP-UX AAA Server consists of three components, which can be installed independently:
A shared secret validates the exchange of configuration information between a remote AAA server and the AAA Server Manager program. This secret is unique to the Server Manager and the remote AAA server. It must not be the same secret used by a AAA server and the peers that it communicates with. The exchange of information between a browser and the client program is not validated or encrypted by default, although you can configure HTTPS to secure this communication.
AAA server installations (daemon, libraries, and utilities) perform the authentication, authorization, and accounting functions to process requests. The AAA server also consists of RMI objects. RMI objects establish connections, and facilitate communication between the AAA server and the HP-UX Tomcat-based Servlet Engine. The AAA Server Manager utilizes the HP-UX Tomcat-based Servlet Engine to provide a configuration interface between a web browser and one or more AAA servers. The Server Manager program is used for starting, stopping, configuring, and modifying the servers. In addition, Server Manager can retrieve logged server sessions and accounting information for an administrator. Documentation is readily accessible through the Server Manager program. All the buttons and options have context-sensitive help. The Secure LAN Advisor help system is also available to help you secure Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) with the HP-UX AAA Server. The Secure LAN Advisor provides information only—it does not edit configuration files. Follow the Secure LAN Advisor and use Server Manager to create and deploy basic AAA configurations for securing WLANs. The HP-UX AAA Server Administrator’s Guide in .pdf format is also available through the Server Manager. Use this document for step-by-step instructions for configuring the HP-UX AAA Server. |
