nShield Connect and client configuration files

This appendix describes the configuration files that store the current configuration of an nShield Connect or client.

The module configuration files are stored on the internal file system of the nShield Connect. They are updated automatically when the nShield Connect is configured from the front panel. The configuration files are also exported automatically to the remote file system, where they can be edited manually and reloaded on the nShield Connect, if required. For more information, see Client Software and module configuration.

The client configuration files are stored in the client’s file system. The client’s hardserver can also be set up using environment variables. Environment variable settings override settings in the client configuration files. For more information, see Setting environment variables.

Location of client configuration files

The client configuration files are in the directory %NFAST_KMDATA% \config on the client computer’s file system. This directory can contain the following files:

File Description

File	Description
`config`	The master configuration file. This contains the current configuration for the client. It is always present in the directory.
`config-default`	The default configuration file. This can be used to restore factory settings for the client. It is created by the `cfg-mkdefault` utility.

config

The master configuration file. This contains the current configuration for the client. It is always present in the directory.

config-default

The default configuration file. This can be used to restore factory settings for the client. It is created by the cfg-mkdefault utility.

You can also save backup copies of configuration files in this directory.

Location of module configuration files

When you configure the nShield Connect from the front panel, the configuration files are exported automatically to the remote file system defined in the rfs_client section of the module configuration. The exported files are in the directory %NFAST_KMDATA% \hsm-ESN\config.

In this path, ESN is the electronic serial number of the network nShield Connect from which the files were exported. This directory contains the master configuration file config, which specifies the current configuration for the nShield Connect. It is always present in the directory.

The remote file system information is also contained in the client configuration file section remote_file_system.

Structure of configuration files

The configuration files are text files. They must contain only characters with ASCII values between 32 and 127, and the tab, line break, and return characters.

Lines starting with a # character are comments and are ignored. Some comments that document the configuration options are generated by the configuration process. You can add your own comments, but in some cases they may later be overwritten.

A configuration file begins with a single line that specifies the version of the file syntax. This syntax-version line has the format:

syntax-version=n

In this syntax-version line example, n represents the version of the syntax in which the file is written. The system can process a file with a lower syntax version than the one it uses, but not one with a higher version.

After the syntax-version line, the rest of the configuration file consists of sections that can be edited to control different aspects of nShield Connect or client behavior. Each section begins with its name in square brackets, as in this example:

[slot_imports]

Module configuration files and client configuration files have some sections in common, and some specific to the type of file:

Both Module file only Client file only

You can update the parameters defined in most of these sections to configure the way that the hardserver handles secure transactions between the nShield Connect and applications that run on the client.

Some sections are updated automatically and should not be edited manually. For more information, see the descriptions of individual sections.

In each section, the bracketed name is followed by a specified set of fields. Each field is on a separate line. Each field begins with its name, followed by an equals sign (=) and a value of the appropriate type. White space can be included at either end of the line (for example, in order to indent lines as an aid to clarity).

Some types of field are grouped into entries. An entry is a set of fields of different types that define an instance of an object (for example, a particular client as distinct from other clients). Entries in the same section are separated by a line that contains one or more hyphens (-). Blank lines and comments are allowed between the fields in an entry.

Strings are case sensitive in the section names and field names.

Multiple clients can be added to one configuration file by separating each client entry from the next with a line consisting of one or more hyphens.

If a particular section is not present in the configuration file, it is assumed to have no entries.

Sections only in module configuration files

nethsm_settings

The nethsm_settings section defines settings specific to the nShield Connect. The section contains the following fields:

Sections in both module and client configuration files

server_settings

The server_settings section defines the settings for the client hardserver you can modify while the hardserver is running.

These flags are used by the NFLOG_DETAIL environment variable (see Environment variables to control logging).

The section contains the following fields:

Field Description

loglevel

This field specifies the level of logging performed by the hardserver. It takes a value that is one of the following:

info
notice
client
remoteserver
error
serious
internal
startup
fatal
fatalinternal

The default is info. For more information, see Logging, debugging, and diagnostics. If the NFAST_SERVERLOGLEVEL environment variable is set, it overrides any loglevel value set in the configuration file.

NFAST_SERVERLOGLEVEL is a legacy debug variable.

logdetail

This field specifies the level of detail logged by the hardserver. You can supply one or more flags in a space-separated list. For more information about the flags, see the table below.

connect_retry

This field specifies the number of seconds to wait before retrying a remote connection to a client hardserver. The default is 10.

connect_maxqueue

This field specifies the maximum number of jobs which can be queued on the hardserver. The default is 4096: this is also the maximum value. Setting connect_maxqueue to a high value allows high throughput, but may cause long latency if the hardserver goes down.

connect_broken

This field specifies the number of seconds of inactivity allowed before a connection to a client hardserver is declared broken. The default is 90.

connect_keepalive

This field specifies the number of seconds between keepalive packets for remote connections to a client hardserver. The default is 10.

accept_keepidle

This field specifies the number of seconds before the first keepalive packet for remote incoming connections. The default is 30. Ideally, accept_keepalive should be at least twice the value of the connect_keepalive setting on the unattended machines.

accept_keepalive

This field specifies the number of seconds between keepalive packets for remote incoming connections. The socket will be closed after up to ten consecutive probe failures. The default is 10.

Ideally, accept_keepalive should be a value such that (10 * accept_keepalive) > connect_broken on the unattended machine. Using the default values for both these fields will fulfil this requirement.

connect_command_block

When the nShield Connect has failed, this field specifies the number of seconds the hardserver should wait before failing commands directed to that HSM with a NetworkError message. For commands to have a chance of succeeding after the nShield Connect has failed this value should be greater than that of connect_retry. If it is set to 0, commands to an nShield Connect are failed with NetworkError immediately. The default is 35.

max_pci_if_vers

This field specifies the maximum PCI interface version number. If max_pci_if_vers is set to 0 (the default), there is no limit.

enable_remote_mode

If this field is set to yes (the default value) in the module configuration file, nShield Connect mode changing using the nopclearfail utility is enabled. If set to no, mode changing using the nopclearfail utility is disabled.

Do not set enable_remote_mode in the client configuration file.

enable_remote_reboot

If this field is set to yes (the default value) in the module configuration file, the nShield Connect remote reboot using the nethsmadmin utility is enabled. If set to no, remote reboot using the nethsmadmin utility is disabled. Run cfg-pushnethsm to push the new config file to the module.

enable_remote_upgrade

If this field is set to yes (the default value) in the module configuration file, the nShield Connect remote upgrade using the nethsmadmin utility is enabled. If set to no, remote upgrade using the nethsmadmin utility is disabled. Run cfg-pushnethsm to push the new config file to the module.

These flags are those used by the NFLOG_DETAIL environment variable (see Environment variables to control logging).

You can supply a number of flags with the logdetail field, which specifies the level of detail logged by the hardserver (see the table above). Supply the flags in a space separated list:

Flag Description

server_remotecomms

The server_remotecomms section defines the remote IPv4 communication settings for the client hardserver. These are read only at hardserver start-up.

Any changes made to these fields in the Connect module config file should be followed by a reboot of the nShield Connect.

It is not recommended that the port number be changed. If it is changed, the port number must match in the configuration of peers. For example, if the port number is changed in the nShield Connect configuration, the remote_port field of the nethsm_imports section of the client-side hardserver config file must be updated to match. The port number can also be specified with the -P parameter when running nethsmenroll.

This section contains the following fields:

Field Description

Field	Description
`impath_port`	This field specifies the port on which the hardserver listens for incoming impath connections. The default is 9004. Setting this field to 0 specifies that the hardserver does not listen for incoming connections (do not set to 0 on an nShield Connect). Make sure that firewall settings are consistent with port settings. If you change this field you will need to re-enroll your client with the new port value, see Enrolling the client from the command line.
`impath_addr`	This field specifies the IPv4 address at which the hardserver listens for incoming impath connections. If this field is set to `inaddr_any` (which is the default), the hardserver listens on all IP addresses.
`impath_interface`	This field specifies a string representing the name of the Ethernet interface on which the hardserver listens. This field is only examined if `impath_addr` is set to `inaddr_any`. By default, the `impath_interface` field is empty, which means that the hardserver listens on all interfaces. If the string is not recognized as the name of one of the interfaces of the nShield Connect, the hardserver does not listen.

impath_port

This field specifies the port on which the hardserver listens for incoming impath connections. The default is 9004. Setting this field to 0 specifies that the hardserver does not listen for incoming connections (do not set to 0 on an nShield Connect).
