Security_patch_check tool

[Alex Grigore]

Hi guys,

I installed Security_patch_check tool on an HP-UX B.11.11U.

The problem comes from the configuration of the tool: in order to acces the internet, one has to input name/password to get pass the proxy server.

I added in the /etc/opt/sec_mgmt/spc/spc_config file the entry:
http_proxy=http://user:pass@194.x.x.x:8080

This resulted in :
==============================
WARNING: Can't download from
ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/export/patches/security_catalog2.gz
Error status is: 500 Can't connect to 194.x.x.x:8080 (Timeout)
.
The network may be down, or you may be behind a firewall, or you might not have the correct permissions. The value of $ftp_proxy is
"http://user:pass@194.x.x.x:8080". If you are behind a firewall be sure that this is correct. Please see the security_patch_check man
page for information on setting this environment variable. You may also download the catalog manually at:
https://itrc.hp.com/service/patch/securityPatchCatalog.do?item=security_catalog2.gz

ERROR: No URL provided could be used to download the security catalog.
==========================


Is there any way to pass on the logon credentials?


Thank you,
AlexG.

I forgot to mention that the parameters are correct and the proxy server is available.

And, if you put ftp_proxy=ftp://user:pass@194.x.x.x:8080?
Note that you are writing in the access link the ftp protocol.
