To Use Command-Line SKIP on the Administration Station

1. On the Administration Station, open a terminal window and become root.

2. To enable unencrypted communication from the Administration Station to all hosts other than the Screen, type:

   # skiphost -a default

3. Add a rule so that encrypted communication is possible between the Administration Station and the Screen by typing:

   # skiphost command_from_ss_install

   This command is in the AdminSetup.readme file. The command is in the following form, which has been divided into lines for readability:

   skiphost -a name_of_Screen -r NSID_type

   -R Screen's_certificate_ID -s NSID_type

   -S Administration_Station's_certificate_ID

   -k key_encryption_algorithm

   -t data_encryption_algorithm -m MAC_algorithm

4. Turn on SKIP by typing:

   If Screen has only one interface: # skiphost -o on If Screen has more than one interface, for each interface: # skiphost -i name_of_interface -o on

   ---

   Note -

   To display the interfaces, type: ifconfig -a

   ---

5. Save the SKIP settings by typing:

   # skipif -i all -s

6. Restart the SKIP daemon by typing:

   # skipd_restart

   Refer to the SunScreen SKIP 1.5.1 User's Guide for more information on operating SKIP, if needed.

   ---

   Note -

   After configuring SKIP, check that the encryption parameters and 32-character certificate ID (MKID) values match on both the Administration Station and the Screen.

7. To configure and manage your Screen from your Administration Station, run a Java-enabled Web browser compliant with JDK 1.1.3 or later, and launch the administration GUI by typing the following URL:

   http://Name_of_Screen:3852/

See the SunScreen 3.1 Administration Guide for instructions on how to use the administration GUI.
