Installation of RPM Package#

For the server software installation, please prepare the server latest package like the following RPM file.

* The package is not in public on the download site. Please make contact to us to get it.

hcpd-1.2.11-7.el9.x86_64.rpm

Install the package using rpm command.

rpm -ivh hcpd-1.2.11-7.el9.x86_64.rpm

If you have a license key for Bytix HCP tools, called as this software below, save it to the following file.

Start and stop hcpd by running the following command.

systemctl start hcpdsystemctl stop hcpd

Edit the following files to change the server configuration and give some options to the hcpd command.

/etc/systemd/system/hcpd.service/etc/sysconfig/hcpd

The hcpd is installed with the following functions enabled.

  • Privilege separation : Enabled
  • PPAM and public key authentication : Enabled
  • Cryptographic transport by a server host key : Enabled

Confirm if It Works#

After the installation being completed, start the server by the following command and check its status about hcpd working.

systemctl start hcpdsystemctl status hcpd

Initial Configuration (around Securities)#

The initial configuration is optimal in use. If you change configurations around securities, please see the configuration reference.

Upgrade#

To upgrade on Linux, you just run the RPM command with a newer package than the current version's package using -U option.

rpm -Uvh hcpd-1.2.11-7.el9.x86_64.rpm

Old configuration files will be kept. You can make upgrade even if using a newer package in build number.

Example: Upgrade from 1.2.9-9 to 1.2.11-7

rpm -ivh hcpd-1.2.9-9.el9.x86_64.rpmrpm -Uvh hcpd-1.2.11-7.el9.x86_64.rpm (this works)

Uninstallation#

To uninstall on Linux, use -e option of the RPM command to do.

rpm -e hcpd
