Configuring Protocol Requests

You can configure NNMi to do either of the following with regard to protocol requests:

  • Check all certificate validation protocols for each certificate
  • Check the protocol list in the preferred order and stop when a valid response is received

To configure protocol requests, do the following:

  1. Edit the following file:

    Windows: %NnmDataDir%\nmsas\NNM\conf\nms-auth-config.xml

    Linux: $NnmDataDir/nmsas/NNM/conf/nms-auth-config.xml

  2. Within the <revocation> section of the file (find the <revocation> tag), search for the line that begins with the following text:

    <mode>
  3. Do one of the following:

    • To have NNMi check all protocols for each certificate, edit the line to read as follows:

      <mode>CHECK_ALL</mode>
    • To have NNMi check the protocol list in the preferred order and stop when a valid response is received, edit the line to read as follows:

      <mode>FIRST_SUCCESS</mode>
  4. Save the nms-auth-config.xml file.
  5. Run the following command for the change to take effect:

    nnmsecurity.ovpl -reloadAuthConfig
