Maximum Request Queue
Size
The maximum number of
requests to queue until a
request thread becomes
available. If this queue
fills, no more requests will
be processed for this
particular Non-DCE client
until there is more room in
the queue.
Any positive 32-bit integer value. 20
Authentication Mode These are the NDAPI
client authentication
mechanisms supported by
the gateway.
DCE and/or Kerberos or None DCE
Advice: The NDAPI Client Library provides a means for a client to set the type of
authentication mechanism it wishes to use. By default the NDAPI supports the
DCE and None mechanisms (NDAPI Client Library and Gateway can be rebuilt to
also support Kerberos authentication). During initial connection the client may
request authentication using one of supported mechanism. If the gateway supports
this mechanism and the client provides the correct authentication material, then the
client is granted access to HPSS as the presented identity. Care should be take when
setting this field, if neither DCE or Kerberos is specified, then NDAPI client will not
be required to authenticate themselves.
DCE Encryption Key A key used to encrypt the
DCE user name and
password passed between
the NDAPI client and
gateway during the initial
connection.
This value can only be changed by
clicking on the Generate New Key
button.
0
Advice: This key should always be set if using DCE authentication. The value of this
key should be placed in the NDAPI Client Library encryption key file (see Section
7.2: Non-DCE Client API Configuration on page 415 for details on configuring the
NDAPI Client Library).
