Stealth Mode Installation Summary

The installer guides you through installing the SunScreen software on systems using SKIP UDH self-generated or SKIP CA-issued certificate technology for encryption.

Perform the installation in the following order:

1. On the Administration Station

   1. Install the SunScreen administration software.

   2. Create the Administration Station's SKIP certificate.

2. On the Screen

   1. Install the SunScreen software.

      This step requires the Administration Station's certificate ID and installs the Screen's certificate.

   2. Create the Screen's SKIP certificate.

3. On the Administration Station install the Screen's certificate to begin encrypted communication.

4. Use the administration GUI on the remote Administration Station to manage your Screen.

If you configure a network interface as routing and later set it to stealth mode, the Screen will hang upon activation. If this happens, you must reboot the Screen in single user mode; remove the file /etc/hostname.interface_name, which unconfigures that interface; and reboot again.

The following sections describe the installation procedures for installing the SunScreen software in stealth mode and how to establish encrypted communication using SKIP certificate technology to remotely administer the stealth Screen.

Do not begin this procedure until you have read the information in "Defining Security Policies" in the SunScreen 3.2 Installation Guide.
