Chapter 5: Configuration Items
Configuration items are hierarchical in structure, with the root node
ET
. Child nodes of the root represent the
class of the item, and are typically product abbreviations, such as
PTKC
(ProtectToolkit-C) or
HSM
(Hardware
Security Module). Nodes under class represent the component, such as
LOGGER
or
SMS
. Finally, nodes
under component represent the configuration item, such as
FILE
,
MODE
, or
NAME
. Configuration items
therefore take the form:
ET_<class>_<component>_<item>
For a list of configurable items, see:

Client/PCIe HSM Server Configuration
The procedure for configuring client/PCIe HSM host systems differs between Windows and Linux. Please refer
to the relevant section below:
Windows
Temporary
Temporary configuration changes are made using environment variables. Since environment variables are not
hierarchical, the hierarchy is implicitly defined by the name of the variable.
In Network mode, to temporarily change the length of time the HSM will wait before timing out a
connection attempt
In a command prompt, enter
set ET_HSM_NETCLIENT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_SECS=<time_in_
seconds>
User
User configuration changes are made in the registry tree starting from
HKEY_CURRENT_
USER\SOFTWARE\SafeNet
.
In Network mode, to change the length of time the HSM will wait before timing out a connection
attempt
1.
Open
regedit
to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\SafeNet
.
2.
Add a new key entitled
HSM
and open it.
3.
Add a new key entitled
NETCLIENT
and open it.
4.
Add a new string named
ET_HSM_NETCLIENT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_SECS
.
5.
Set the value data to the desired time in seconds.
