Installing on HP-UX
SSH Tectia Server is available for:

 HP-UX 11.11 on PA-RISC


 HP-UX 11.23 on PA-RISC and Itanium

Keep the operating system fully patched. See the required patches in System
Requirements. See the latest patch information on the Hewlett-Packard web
site. In case PAM/Kerberos is used, install also the latest patches related to
Kerberos.

The downloaded online installation package contains the compressed


installation files. On the CD-ROM, the installation packages for HP-UX
platforms are located in the /install/hp-ux/ directory.

Two packages are required: one for the common components of SSH Tectia
Client and Server, and another for the specific components of SSH Tectia
Server.

To install SSH Tectia Server on HP-UX, follow the instructions below:

1. Make sure no other Secure Shell software is using port 22 (SSH


Tectia Server default listen port). Stop any competing server software
or change their listen port.
2. Select the installation package according to your HP-UX version.

When installing on HP-UX 11.11 or 11.23 running on the PA-RISC


architecture, select the following packages:

ssh-tectia-common-<ver>-sd-11.11-pa-risc.depot.Z
ssh-tectia-server-<ver>-sd-11.11-pa-risc.depot.Z

When installing on HP-UX 11.23 running on the Itanium architecture,


select the following packages:

ssh-tectia-common-<ver>-sd-11.23-itanium.depot.Z
ssh-tectia-server-<ver>-sd-11.23-itanium.depot.Z

In the commands, <ver> is the current package version of SSH Tectia


Server (for example, 5.3.8.123).
3. Unpack the installation packages with gunzip. In order to be
installable, the created packages must have the correct long file
names:

4. $ gunzip ssh-tectia-common-<ver>-sd-<arch>.depot.Z
5. $ gunzip ssh-tectia-server-<ver>-sd-<arch>.depot.Z

In the package name, <arch> is the version and architecture of the


HP-UX operating system: 11.11-pa-risc or 11.23-itanium.

6. Install the packages by running the following commands with root


privileges:

7. # swinstall -s <path>/ssh-tectia-common-<ver>-sd-<arch>.depot SSHG3common


8. # swinstall -s <path>/ssh-tectia-server-<ver>-sd-<arch>.depot SSHG3server

Note
In the commands, <path> is the full path to the installation
package. HP-UX requires the full path even when the command is
run in the same directory.

9. The server host key is generated during the installation. The key
generation may take several minutes on slow machines.
10. (Not necessary in "third-digit" maintenance updates.) Copy the
license file to the /etc/ssh2/licenses directory. See Licensing.

If this is the initial installation of SSH Tectia Server, the directory


does not yet exist. You can either create it manually or copy the
license after the installation. In the latter case, you have to start the
server manually after copying the license file.

11. The installation should (re)start the server automatically.

Note
If the server does not start (for example because of a missing
license or because some other secure shell software is running on
port 22), you can start it after correcting the problem by issuing
the command:

12. # /sbin/init.d/ssh-server-g3 start
