Installing HPUX 11.11 C2 auditing for an ISS Server Sensor causes Authentication Problem

[Alvaro Garcia_1]

Yesterday we activated the C2 auditing in HPUX 11.11 with:

/usr/lbin/tsconvert
and editing /etc/rc.config.d/auditing

We change these kernel parameters:
_ maxdsiz
_ maxssiz
_ maxtsiz

under root

We type the following command

usr/sbin/kmtune -s =0x10000000

but when the machine was rebooted all passwords were expired.

After the root password was changed by console, the graphic environment authentication doesn´t work. The audit was configured back to the original state and the graphical environment authentication works fine.

How can I solve this problem?

Do you known any issue with enable C2 auditing in this Operating System?

When you convert to trusted system or revert back to non-trusted all passwords expire. To avoid that you should do /usr/lbin/modprpw -V

OR better,

/etc/tsconvert -c;/usr/lbin/modprpw -V

I will enable C2 auditing with this command

/etc/tsconvert -c;/usr/lbin/modprpw -V

Thank you
