Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) A standard protocol layer that lies between HTTP and TCP and provides privacy and message
integrity between a client and server. A common use of SSL is to provide authentication of the
server, so the client can be assured it is communicating with the system that the system claims to
be. It is application protocol independent.
Secure Task
Execution (STE) Secure execution of a task from a managed system. This feature of HP SMH ensures that the user
requesting the task has the appropriate rights to perform the task and encrypts the request to
protect data from snooping.
Security Attributes
Configuration tool
(secweb) The HP-UX Security Attributes Configuration (secweb) tool is used to view and configure system-wide
and per-user (local users and NIS users) values of security attributes. It also gives information
about account locks. The Security Attributes Configuration tool can be launched from the HP-UX
System Administration Manager (SAM) tool, or from HP SMH.
