Chapter 7 HPSS User Interface Configuration
HPSS Installation Guide September 2002 415
Release 4.5, Revision 2
The HPSS_REGISTRY_SITE_NAME environment variable is used to specify the name of the
securityregistry used when inserting security information into connection binding handles. This is
onlyneeded when the client must support DFS in a cross-cell environment. The default registry is
/.../dce.clearlake.ibm.com”.
The HPSS_DMAP_WRITE_UPDATES environment variable is used control the frequency of
cache invalidates that are issued to the DMAPI file system while writing to a file that is mirror in
HPSS. The default value is 20.
The HPSS_GKTOTAL_DELAY environment variable is used to control the total number of
seconds to continue retrying a Gatekeeper request before the request times out. A value of zero
indicates that there is not time limit. The default value is600.
The HPSS_LIMITED_RETRIES environment variable is used to control the number of retry
attempts before a limited retry error operation fails. The default value is1.
The HPSS_DISABLE_CROSS_CELL environment variable is used to control cross-cell traversal.
When cross-cell traversal is disabled, a client will not be allowed to access directories which are
located in another DCE cell. The default value is zero (cross-cell enabled).
The HPSS_DISABLE_JUNCTIONS environment variable is used to control junction traversal.
Whenjunction traversal is disabled, a client will not be allowed to access directories which require
traversal to the directory via a junction. The default value is zero (junction traversal enabled).
7.2 Non-DCE Client API Configuration

7.2.1 Configuration Files

Thefollowing files are required by the Non-DCE Client API to perform the authentication functions
correctly under the specified circumstances.
ndcl.keyconfig: This file is required on the client machine in order to use the DCE authentication
mode.It contains the encryption key used to encrypt the DCE principal and the password (which
are then shipped across to the Non DCE Gateway). By default this file is in the/var/hpss/etc
directory
The keyfile must contain the same key as theNon DCE Gateway Server Specific Configuration
screen in SSM. You must perform the following steps to set up the keyfile.
Login on the client machine (the one running the Non DCE Client API) as userhpss.
cd /var/hpss/etc
Open theNon-DCE Gateway Server Specific Configuration screen in SSM.
Usevi or your text editor of choice to create and open ndcl.keyconfig
Copy the key from the NDCG SSM screen to the keyfile in the following format:
"0x[first 8 digits] 0x[next 8 digits]"
