IDS/9000

Can I run IDS/9000 only on one machine (Admin and Agent)
Can the java console be accessed from the windows ???

Hi Miro,

Yes you can run the Admin and the Agent on one machine. You'll have to setup your IDS/9000 as a loopback system. If you go to http://www.docs.hp.com/hpux/pdf/J5083-90007.pdf you will find all the information as to how to configure a loopback system in Chapter 2. I have never tried the java console from Windows so I wouldn't be able to answer that one though.

Hi Miro,

Regarding having to setup a loopback address, this only applies if you have a standalone system, not on the network. I have a 700 system that is on the network, and it acts as it's own agent and admin system. I didn't have to take any special steps to configure.

Although the admin GUI is written entirely in Java starting with IDS/9000 v2.0 and can be made to work on Windows, we are not supporting it on Windows. It is only supported on HP-UX, but we have easily gotten the GUI to run on a linux system.

... but I should add that you can run third-party X-emulation software such as Reflection X to run the IDS admin console on your HP-UX server and display it on your windows machine.

There is also free emulation packages such as Cygwin/XFree86 (see http://xfree86.cygwin.com/)
