21.4.6 Details on the settings in the unencrypted-communication host settings file (nosslhost.conf)

(1) File storage folder

The following shows the folder storing the nosslhost.conf file.

For JP1/AJS3 - View

JP1/AJS3 - View-installation-folder\conf\ssl

Note that the same folder stores also a model file (nosslhost.conf.model). If the nosslhost.conf file is not found in the file storage folder, copy the model file (nosslhost.conf.model), and rename the copy to nosslhost.conf.

For JP1/AJS3 - Web Console

In Windows, if the installation folder is the default installation folder or is in a folder protected by the system:

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Hitachi\JP1\JP1_DEFAULT\jp1ajs3web\conf

The default of %ALLUSERSPROFILE% is system-drive\ProgramData.

A folder protected by the system is the path to one of the following folders:

• Folder in system-drive\Windows

• Folder in system-drive\Program Files

• Folder in system-drive\Program Files (x86)

In Windows, if the installation folder is other than the above:

JP1/AJS3 - Web-Console-installation-folder\conf

In a cluster environment of Windows:

shared-folder\jp1ajs3web\conf

In Linux:

/etc/opt/jp1ajs3web/conf

In a cluster environment of Linux:

shared-directory/jp1ajs3web/conf

Note that the nosslhost.conf file is not allocated immediately after JP1/AJS3 - Web Console is installed. If the nosslhost.conf file is not found in the file storage folder, copy the model file (nosslhost.conf.model), and rename the copy to nosslhost.conf.

The following shows the folder storing the model file (nosslhost.conf.model).

In Windows:

JP1/AJS3-Web-Console-installation-folder\conf

In Linux:

/etc/opt/jp1ajs3web/conf

(4) Setting items

The following describes the items to be set. Delimit each item by using a linefeed.

host-name-or-IP-address-of-manager-host

Specify the host name or IP address (not more than 255 characters) of the manager host that does not perform SSL communication (that is, the manager host sends out plain-text communication messages).

By default, an asterisk (*) is specified, which indicates that communication messages are not encrypted.

The asterisk must always be specified independently. For example, host* cannot be specified as a host name beginning with host.

When neither the host name nor the IP address is specified, communication messages are encrypted during communication with any manager host.

The host name is not case sensitive.

(5) Examples

When communication between manager hosts hostA and hostB are not to be encrypted:
