License; Lifecyclepolicyprivateuserkey - HP NonStop SSH 544701-014 Reference Manual

LICENSE

Use this parameter to specify a different location for the SSH2 license file.
Note: If you purchased NonStop SSH with the NonStop Operating System Kernel for H Series and J Series NonStop
platforms, you will not need a license file anymore.
Parameter Syntax
LICENSE file
Arguments
file
Specifies the name of the SSH2 license file.
Considerations
•
If the file name is not fully qualified, SSH2 will add the home subvolume of the object file to the file name.
•
A license is no longer required for TNS/E systems. If a license file exists, then the customer name will be
extracted from it.
•
Please see the section on the HOSTKEY parameter for more information on the interaction of the license file
with the host key file.
•
Please see the section on the SSHCTL parameter for more information on the interaction of the license file with
the SSH2 database.
Default
If omitted, an SSH2 process will search for a file named "LICENSE" on the subvolume where the SSH2 object resides.

LIFECYCLEPOLICYPRIVATEUSERKEY

This parameter controls the life-cycle of user generated private keys. If enabled, a 'not valid before date' and a 'not valid
after date' can be defined for each individual key. This can be achieved by setting the dates explicitly via entity KEY
attributes LIVE-DATE and EXPIRE-DATE or implicitly via globally defined length of the key pending time period after
key generation and length of the period a key is in 'LIVE' state. Only a key in 'LIVE' state may be part of a publickey
authentication of the user owning a private key.
Parameter Syntax
LIFECYCLEPOLICYPRIVATEUSERKEY [DISABLED|FIXED|VARIABLE]
Arguments
DISABLED
Life-cycle control for user generated private keys will not be enabled. When a key is generated it is immediately
in state 'LIVE' and it will never expire.
FIXED
Users without full SSHCOM access cannot set or alter KEY attributes LIVE-DATE and EXPIRE-DATE. Both
dates will be determined by the CREATION-DATE and the values of parameters
INTERVALPENDINGPRIVATEUSERKEY and INTERVALLIVEPRIVATEUSERKEY.
VARIABLE
A user can specify the LIVE-DATE and EXPIRE-DATE when generating or importing a private key or when
altering the private key. By not specifying these attributes in a GENERATE KEY or IMPORT KEY command,
the values for LIVE-DATE and EXPIRE-DATE will be automatically set depending on the CREATION-DATE
