Public Key
Infrastructure
(PKI) Public Key Infrastructure is the combination of software, encryption technologies, and services
that enables enterprises to protect the security of their communications and business transactions
on the Internet.
Red Hat Package
Manager (RPM) The Red Hat Package Manager is a powerful package manager that can be used to build, install,
query, verify, update, and uninstall individual software packages. A package consists of an
archive of files and package information, including name, version, and description.
repository The database that stores vital information about the managed cluster, including users, nodes,
node groups, roles, tools, and authorizations.
RPM See Red Hat Package Manager.
SAM See HP-UX System Administration Manager.
search criteria A set of variables (information) used to define a requested subset of information from the set
of all information. The information set that can be filtered includes action information, some
of the system's information, and so on. A filter is composed of an inclusion filter followed by
an exclusion filter. The result of these two filtering operations is called a group. An example of
a filter is a SQL statement that creates viewable information or causes management operations
to be performed.
Secure HTTP
(HTTPS) An extension to the HTTP protocol that supports sending data securely over the Web.
Secure Shell
(SSH) A program that enables you to log in to another system over a network and execute commands
on that system. It also enables you to move files from one system to another, and it provides
authentication and secure communications over insecure channels.
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.
secweb See Security Attributes Configuration tool .
self-signed
certificate A certificate that is its own certificate authority (CA), so that the subject and the CA are the
same.
See also certificate, certificate authority.
single login Permission granted to an authenticated user browsing to HP Systems Insight Manager (HP
SIM) to browse to any of the managed systems from within HP SIM without re-authenticating
to the managed system. HP SIM is the initial point of authentication and browsing to another
managed system must be from within HP SIM.
software update A task to remotely update software and firmware.
SSH See Secure Shell.
SSL See Secure Sockets Layer.
status type Systems of specified status type (Critical, Failed/Major, Degraded/Minor, Normal, and Unknown)
as defined by HP SMH.
STE See Secure Task Execution.
survey utility An agent (or online service tool) that gathers and delivers hardware and operating system
configuration information. This information is gathered while the server is online.
System Fault
Management tool
(evweb) The System Fault Management (evweb) tool is used to view and administer WBEM indications.
The evweb tool can be launched from HP SMH.
ugweb See Accounts for Users & Groups tool.
