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:

  • HP-UX AAA Server daemon, libraries, and utilities

  • The AAA Server Manager program that performs administration and configuration tasks from a web browser for one or more AAA servers

  • Documentation (Administrator’s Guide, READMEs, and the Secure LAN Advisor help system)

NOTE: To secure the communication between the Server Manager and HP-UX AAA Server, install the Server Manager and the HP-UX AAA Server inside a secure network.

HP-UX AAA Server Daemon, Libraries, and Utilities

The server daemon, libraries, and utilities perform the authentication, authorization, and accounting functions to process requests. The HP-UX AAA Server also includes the AAA RM I objects. The RMI objects provide communication between the HP-UX AAA Server and the HP-UX Tomcat-based Servlet Engine hosting the HP-UX AAA Server Manager.

HP-UX AAA Server Manager Program

The HP-UX AAA Server Manager utilizes the HP-UX Tomcat-based Servlet Engine to provide a configuration interface between a web browser and one or more HP-UX AAA Servers. The Server Manager is used for configuring and managing the servers. In addition, the Server Manager can retrieve logged server sessions and accounting information for an administrator. By specifying a set of HP-UX AAA Servers, the Server Manager can be used to manage a group of HP-UX AAA Servers with a common configuration.

Documentation

The following documentation is accessible through the Server Manager:

  • Context-sensitive help on the Server Manager's buttons and options;

  • A Secure LAN Advisor help system to guide you through securing your Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) with the HP-UX AAA Server. The Secure LAN Advisor provides information only-it does not edit configuration files;

  • This HP-UX AAA Server Administrator's Guide in .pdf format. Use this document for step-by-step instructions for configuring the HP-UX AAA Server.
