3.3.3. SSM Configuration File
The hpssgui and hpssadm scripts use the SSM configuration file, ssm.conf for configuration.
The mkhpss utility will create the SSM configuration file for the security mechanism supported by SSM.
The mkhpss utility will store the generated ssm.conf at $HPSS_PATH_SSM; the default location is /var/
hpss/ssm. The configuration file will contain host and site specific variables that the hpssgui and
hpssadm script will read. The variables contain information about:
SSM hostname
•
SSM RPC number
•
SSM RPC protection level
•
SSM security mechanism
•
SSM UNIX Realm
•
If any of these configuration parameters are modified, the ssm.conf file must be updated and redistributed
from the server machine to all of the SSM client machines.
Users can also use their SSM configuration file to manage SSM client parameters instead of using the
command line options. The hpssgui and hpssadm scripts can be directed to use an alternate SSM
configuration file with the -m option. The default SSM configuration file contains comments describing
each of the available parameters that may be set along with any associated environment variable and
command line option. The following table documents these variables and the corresponding command
line options:

HPSS_SSM_ALARM_RATE
