HP NonStop SSL User Manual

114 • Remote SSL Proxy HP NonStop SSL Reference Manual
Authentication on SSL protocol level is performed with the help of SSL certificates. When configuring a RemoteProxy
session for LPDS Server mode, configuration of corresponding server certificates per session is always required. In case
of client run modes, certificates only have to be configured when client authentication is to be performed.
According to this, the pass phrase of the private key file (as opposed to its public RSA key) must be configured in the
"Pass-Phrase" field in the following cases:
• Session is configured as LPDS server (SSL server proxy for LPD)
• Session is configured for running as a client and SSL Client Authentication is to be used.
Note: We strongly recommend not to rely on the default test certificates which are delivered with the HP NonStop SSL
for testing purposes only!
The "Advanced Tab" allows you to configure some advanced options. Please refer to the table in the "Session Parameter
List" section for details.
The "Run As" Tab allows the configuration of a different user under which the processes spawned by RemoteProxy will
run. This will be necessary under rare circumstances only.
Session Parameter List
The following table lists all session parameters, their meanings, and default values:

Protocol General
The type of protocol that is used for the
communication. Usually you check "Generic TCP/IP",
as with most protocols all data is transferred via a
single TCP/IP session. Some protocols, such as
ODBC/MX, use multiple sessions and negotiate ports
to be used.
