Starting an HP NonStop SSL Process

You can start a HP NonStop SSL process by issuing a TACL RUN command using the following syntax:

RUN SSLOBJ / runoptions / mode [ ; paramname paramvalue; ... ]

where

• runoptions are the standard Guardian RUN options, such as IN, CPU or TERM

• mode defines the run mode of the HP NonStop SSL process with the following valid keywords:

FTPC FTP client proxy

FTPS FTP server proxy

PROXYS Generic SSL server proxy

PROXYC Generic SSL client proxy

TELNETS Secure Telnet proxy

EXPANDS Secure EXPAND over IP proxy

ODBCMXS Secure Proxy for ODBC/MX

• paramname paramvalue; ...

is a list of HP NonStop SSL configuration parameter settings as described in the "Parameter Reference".

Note: When you start a HP NonStop SSL process in NOWAIT mode, make sure you have disabled logging to the home

terminal. To do so, set the parameter LOGCONSOLE to *.

Installing a Secure Telnet Server Proxy

To encrypt Telnet sessions with the standard NonStop TELSERV process and an SSL-enabled Telnet client, you will

need to perform the following steps:

1. On the NonStop server, start a HP NonStop SSL telnet server (TELNETS) proxy for the target TELSERV

process.

2. On the workstation side, re-configure your telnet client to connect via SSL to the port number that the

TELNETS proxy is listening on.

To install an HP NonStop SSL TELNETS proxy

1. Determine the Telnet server you want to install the secure proxy for and find out the TCP/IP process and port

number it is listening on (usually 23).

2. Select a port number that will be used for SSL telnet connections (e.g. 8423).

3. At your TACL prompt, run the HP NonStop SSL SETUP macro:

> VOLUME $SYSTEM.ZNSSSL

> RUN SETUP

Select "TELNET SERVER" as run mode and follow the installation instructions. Enter the port number of the

TELSERV listening port as target port (e.g. 23) and the selected SSL telnet port as listening port (e.g. 8423).

The SETUP macro will create a configuration file (e.g. TLNSCF0) and an SCF IN file for the installation as

persistent process (e.g. TLNSIN0).

4. Edit the HP NonStop SSL TELNETS configuration file (e.g. TLNSCF0) to configure any additional

parameters, if desired.
