HP NonStop SSL Reference Manual Configuration • 73
SERVKEYPASS my private passphrase
Considerations
• The default password ("test") enables a quick start installation with the "SERVKEY" public key file delivered
with HP NonStop SSL.

SLOWDOWN
Use this parameter to make HP NonStop SSL use less CPU cycles for encryption. This will result in a decrease of
possible throughput.
Parameter Syntax
SLOWDOWN <ticks>
Arguments
ticks
After each I/O operation, HP NonStop SSL will call the Guardian System Procedure DELAY with the value of
<ticks>. A higher value will decrease both throughput and CPU usage of HP NonStop SSL.
Default
If omitted, SLOWDOWN will be 0 and HP NonStop SSL will consume all available CPU resources.
Example
SLOWDOWN 1
Considerations
• In most installations, the default value of 0 should be acceptable
• The parameter is mostly intended for use with the FTPC or FTPS modes of HP NonStop SSL. Setting
SLOWDOWN to values between 1 and 5 will significantly reduce CPU usage but will also make the time a file
transfer will take higher.
• The impact of HP NonStop SSL high volume data encryption/decryption can also be influenced by the priority
of the HP NonStop SSL process. However, if it is desirable to run HP NonStop SSL at a higher priority than the
target plain servers/clients, the SLOWDOWN can be used to limit the impact of the cryptographic operations.
• The best value for your environment will depend both on your hardware and requirements.
SOCKSHOST, SOCKSPORT, SOCKSUSER
Use these three parameters to make HP NonStop SSL act as a SOCKS Version 4 client in the run modes FTPC or
PROXYC.
Note: SOCKS4 by design does not support IPv6, i.e. SOCKSHOST, SOCKSPORT and SOCKSUSER are only valid in
IPMODE IPV4. SOCKS is a protocol that relays TCP sessions at a firewall host to allow application users transparent
access across the firewall. For more information about SOCKS, please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOCKS.

SOCKSPORT socksport
