|---|---|
Keep the operating system fully patched according to recommendations by the operating system vendor. |
The supported operating systems are required to have the following or superseding patches or maintenance levels installed. Tectia solutions have been tested with the following patches and maintenance levels:
IBM AIX 5L 5.3: Technology level 10 (fix to AIX bug IDs IZ50489 and IZ14988). Note that these fixes are also available as service packs for some earlier technology levels.
Technology level packages 5300 TL7 and 5300 TL6: required for the ssh-capture tool used for FTP-SFTP conversion and tunneling.
IBM AIX 6.1: Technology level 3 (fix to AIX bug IDs IZ46727 and IZ17492). Note that these fixes are also available as service packs for some earlier technology levels.
IBM AIX requires the following updated C++ runtime libraries:
Fileset update: bos.rte.libc 5.3.8.1
Fileset update: bos.rte.security 5.3.8.1
Base level update: xlC.rte 10.1.0.0

HP-UX patches
The general principle is to install the latest HP-required patch bundle for the OS version, currently required bundles exist for 11i v1 and 11i v2. Proper functioning of the Tectia software also requires the latest HP recommended patches for libc, pthread and linker tools. In addition, some individual patches may be needed to fix specific problems. Such patches are mentioned separately.
