488CHAPTER C: CHANGING 3WXM SERVICES PREFERENCES

4To change the number of times 3WXM Services will reattempt to query a WX switch, if 3WXM Services does not receive a reply to the first query attempt within the connect timeout, type or select the value in the Retry Count box. You can specify from 0 to 5 retries. The default is 5 retries.

5To prevent 3WXM Services from accepting all types of certificates from the WX switches it monitors, click Accept all certificates to disable the option.

By default, 3WXM Services accepts certificates from WX switches regardless of whether they are generated by a certificate authority (CA) or they are self-signed certificates. When you disable this option, the Accept self-signed certificates option remains enabled.

6To prevent 3WXM Services from accepting self-signed certificates from the WX switches it monitors, click Accept self-signed certificates to disable the option.

When both the Accept all certificates and Accept self-signed certificates options are disabled, 3WXM Services accepts only-CA generated certificates.

7To specify a key store filename and a password to protect access to that file:

a Enter the filename in the File box.

b To change the file type for the key store file, select one of the following:

„PKCS12 — Public-Key Cryptography Standard number 12, the standard format used by Unix machines.

„JKS — Java Key Store, a format used by Java platforms and applications.

cEnter the password in the Password box.

When both the Accept all certificates and Accept self-signed certificates options are disabled, and you specify a key store file, the 3WXM Services accepts a certificate from a WX switch only if the public key information for that certificate is in the key store file.
