# Installation example for HP-UX

This is an example installation of PingID Secure Shell (SSH) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">
\<p>Protocol for secure operation of network services over an unsecured network.\</p>
\</div>)* for HP-UX. Your installation might vary depending on your particular configuration.

## About this task

The bundled C compiler on HP-UX is intended for building a kernel and is not much use for anything else. We need the HP-UX C/C++ Development Environment that includes the latest C compiler or gcc compiler. (This procedure was tested with gcc-4.2.3 32-bit Itanium 2, now deprecated.)

## Steps

1. Download `depothelper` and `gcc` to local machine from <ftp://hpux.connect.org.uk/hpux/Sysadmin/depothelper-2.20/depothelper-2.20-ia64_64-11.31.depot.gz> and <ftp://hpux.connect.org.uk/hpux/Gnu/gcc-4.2.3/gcc-4.2.3-ia64_32-11.31.depot.gz>.

2. Copy `depothelper` and `gcc` to the hpux server:

   ```
   scp -P <port> depothelper-2.20-ia64_64-11.31.depot.gz user@server.com:/tmp
   scp -P <port> gcc-4.2.3-ia64_32-11.31.depot.gz user@server.com:/tmp
   ```

3. As root, unzip and install `depothelper` and `gcc`:

   ```
   /usr/contrib/bin/gunzip /tmp/depothelper-2.20-ia64_64-11.31.depot.gz
   /usr/contrib/bin/gunzip /tmp/gcc-4.2.3-ia64_32-11.31.depot.gz
   ```

   and then run:

   ```
   /usr/sbin/swinstall -s /tmp/depothelper-2.20-ia64_64-11.31.depot
   /usr/sbin/swinstall -s /tmp/gcc-4.2.3-ia64_32-11.31.depot.gz
   ```

4. As root, install curl:

   ```
   /usr/local/bin/depothelper curl
   ```

5. Create simlinks (as root only for gcc-4.2.3 32-bit):

   ```
   mkdir /usr/local/lib/hpux32
   sudo ln -s /opt/gtk2.6/lib/libintl.so /usr/local/lib/hpux32/libintl.so
   sudo ln -s /opt/gtk2.6/lib/libiconv.so /usr/local/lib/hpux32/libiconv.so
   ```

6. Copy the pingid tarball from the local machine to the server and unpack it:

   ```
   scp -P <port> pingid-4.0.16.tar.gz user@server.com:/home/user
   cd /home/user
   /usr/contrib/bin/gunzip pingid-4.0.16.tar.gz
   tar xvf pingid-4.0.16.tar
   ```

7. Set up the environment and build the 64 bit version:

   For gcc-4.2.3 32-bit only:

   ```
   export CC="/usr/local/bin/gcc -mlp64"
   ```

   For all:

   ```
   cd ~/pingid-4.0.16
   aclocal
   autoreconf -i
   ./configure --with-pam
   make
   sudo make install
   ```

8. Download the properties file. See [Integrate PingID with SSH](pid_integration_with_ssh_intro.html).

9. Copy your `pingid.properties` file to server:

   ```
   scp -P  <port>  pingid.properties user@server.com:/home/user
   sudo cp pingid.properties /usr/local/etc/pingid/
   ```

   |   |                                                      |
   | - | ---------------------------------------------------- |
   |   | Do not make any changes to the contents of the file. |

10. If you do not have a collection of trusted root certification authorities on the server, you can download `cacert.pem` from <https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem> to `/usr/local/etc/pingid/` using the command:

    ```
    sudo curl https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem -o /usr/local/etc/pingid/cacert.pem
    ```
