Solaris client
The Host Intrusion Prevention 6.1 Solaris client identifies and prevents potentially
harmful attempts to compromise a Solaris server’s files and applications. It protects the
server’s operating system along with Apache and Sun web servers, with an emphasis
on preventing buffer overflow attacks.
Policy enforcement with the Solaris client
Not all policies that protect a Windows client are available for the Solaris client. In brief,
Host Intrusion Prevention protects the host server from harmful attacks but does not
offer firewall protection. The valid policies are listed here.
Troubleshooting
After the Solaris client is installed and started, it protects its host. However, you may
need to troubleshoot installation or operation issues.
Client installation issues
If a problem was caused while installing or uninstalling the client, there are several
things to investigate. These can include ensuring that all required files were installed in
the correct directory, uninstalling and then reinstalling the client, and checking process
logs.
