Install-time Security (ITS) for Ignite-UX and Update-UX
— Applies predefined HP-UX Bastille security configuration profile during first system
boot
— Enables out-of-the-box security by avoiding any vulnerability window after initial install

1.2 Compatibility

There are no differences between the Intel Itanium-based and PA-RISC implementation. Some
products depend on services, system settings, or network ports that HP-UX Bastille secures. In
cases where products depend on out-of-the-box settings that HP-UX Bastille might change,
dependencies are documented.
HP-UX Bastille is available for the following operating systems:
HP-UX 11i v1 (11.11)
HP-UX 11i v2 (11.23)
HP-UX 11i v3 (11.31)
NOTE:
HP-UX Bastille for 11i v1 is still supported, but no longer being developed.
For more information about HP-UX Bastille compatibility with Serviceguard, see
(page 31)
and the Serviceguard documentation available at http://docs.hp.com/en/netsys.html.

1.3 Performance

Although HP-UX Bastille does not directly affect performance, IPFilter settings such as host-based
firewall can cause a slight decrease in network performance. Install Time Security (ITS) does not
affect performance, but if the DMZ or MngDMZ security levels are used, network performance
might slow IPFilter packet filtering.

1.4 Support

For customers with an HP-UX support agreement, technical support is available through the HP
World Wide Response Centers at www.hp.com/support. Support is also offered through the IT
Resource Center at www.itrc.hp.com.
