Freeware CD

The Freeware CD contains "public domain" and "freeware" software which runs on OpenVMS. The purpose of the OpenVMS Freeware CD is to provide OpenVMS customers with easy access to public domain software and "free" internal HP software and tools.

GTK+

GTK+ is an open source, free software library for creating graphical user interfaces.

» GTK+ for OpenVMS Alpha

libIDL

The IDL Compiling Library (libIDL) for OpenVMS Alpha is an open source, free software library used for creating trees of CORBA Interface Definition Language (IDL) files. libIDL is part of the GNOME library set.

While libIDL is general purpose, libIDL was ported to OpenVMS to facilitate the building of Mozilla on OpenVMS and has only been used for this purpose.

More information about libIDL is available from http://andrewtv.org/libIDL/index.jsp.

Majordomo Internet Mail Handler

Majordomo automates the management of Internet mailing lists. Commands are sent to Majordomo via electronic mail to handle all aspects of list maintenance. Once a list is set up, virtually all operations can be performed remotely, requiring no intervention upon the postmaster of the list site.

Stunnel

Stunnel allows you to encrypt arbitrary TCP/IP connections inside an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) connection from your OpenVMS system to another machine. Stunnel allows you to secure non-SSL aware applications (such as Telnet, IMAP, RCP, and FTP authentication) by having Stunnel provide the encryption, so you do not have to change the original application. Both images and source code are provided. For more information about Stunnel, see http://www.stunnel.org.

The Stunnel kit is a compressed, self-extracting EXE file. To expand the Stunnel source kit, enter one of the following commands:

$ RUN STUNNEL-4_20_AXP.EXE     !    for Alpha (Updated September 2007)
$ RUN STUNNEL-4_20_I64.EXE       !    for I64 (Updated September 2007)
$ RUN STUNNEL-3_26_VAX.EXE      !    for VAX

At the Decompress into (file specification): prompt, press return. The system expands the file and names the decompressed file STUNNEL-4_20.BCK or STUNNEL-3_26.BCK.

See STUNNEL_README_AXP_I64.TXT (for Alpha and I64) or STUNNEL_README_VAX.TXT (for VAX) for information about Stunnel on OpenVMS.

» Download Stunnel for VAX  (November 2002)

Source code

Source code for the following Open Source products is provided.

Important  Source code kits and build instructions are provided "as-is" and without any support from HP. The binaries resulting from a build from either modified or unmodified source code are unsupported. HP provides support, via OpenVMS software services contracts, only for HP supplied binaries.

CD Record

CD Record is a free software package used to provide support for writing Compact Disk media on OpenVMS. The Open Source CD Record capability is provided on the Open Source Tools CD.

The CD Record source kit is a compressed backup saveset. To expand the CD Record source kit, enter the following command:

$ RUN CDRECORD_SOURCES.EXE

At the Decompress into (file specification): prompt, press return. The system expands the file and names the decompressed file CDRECORD_SOURCES.BCK.

To restore the CD Record backup saveset, enter the following commands:

$ CREATE/DIR disk:[directory]
$ BACKUP CDRECORD_SOURCES.BCK/SAVE disk:[directory...]*.*

» CDRECORD_README.TXT contains more information about CD Record on OpenVMS.

CDSA (Common Data Security Architecture)

The Common Data Security Architecture (CDSA) is a multiplatform, industry-standard security infrastructure. CDSA is part of the OpenVMS Alpha and I64 operating system.

For more information about CDSA on OpenVMS, see HP Open Source Security for OpenVMS, Volume 1: CDSA  (HTML or PDF).

Kerberos

Kerberos Version 3.1 for HP OpenVMS is based on MIT Kerberos V5 Release 1.4.1, including security patches. Kerberos Version 3.1 runs on OpenVMS I64 Version 8.3 and higher and OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-2 and higher. (Version 2.0 runs on OpenVMS VAX Version 7.3 and higher.)

Kerberos is a network authentication protocol designed to provide strong authentication for client/server applications by using secret-key cryptography.

For more information about Kerberos on OpenVMS, see HP Open Source Security for OpenVMS, Volume 3: Kerberos  (HTML or PDF).

» Download the Kerberos Version 3.1 source code  (November 2007)

HP SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)

HP SSL Version 1.3 for OpenVMS is based on OpenSSL 0.9.7e and includes all of the latest security updates from OpenSSL.org. HP SSL Version 1.3 runs on OpenVMS I64 Version 8.2 and higher and OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-2 and higher. (Version 1.1-B runs on OpenVMS VAX Version 7.3 and higher.)

SSL is the open standard security protocol for the secure transfer of sensitive information over the Internet. SSL provides privacy through encryption, server authentication, and message integrity. Client authentication is available as an optional function.
