Configuring Connection to CipherTrust Manager

To configure the connection:

1. Specify the following values in the IngrianNAE.properties file.

   1. NAE_IP: IP address of the CipherTrust Manager.

   2. NAE_Port: 9000. This is the default value.

   3. Log_Level: MEDIUM. This is the default value. However, you can specify the value as HIGH for troubleshooting.

   4. Protocol:

      • tcp: If you set the protocol as tcp, it will not require additional configurations in terms of connection.

      • ssl: If you set it as ssl, it requires CA_File, Cert_File, Key_File, Passphrase, and Protocol to be specified as mandatory parameters.

   5. Log_File: Full path and file name (for example, Logfile.txt). Ensure that you have write permissions for the path and file. It is recommended to specify any public location, such as /tmp.

   For the full list with explanation of IngrianNAE.properties file, refer to the SafeNet ProtectApp User Guide.

2. Modify the environment variables for the SafeNet ProtectApp NGINX user.

   Ensure that the following environment variables are exported so that they are inherited by new NGINX processes. You can do this by adding them in the shell profile so that if the machine restarts, the variables are exported by the default source (in many shells, the file is called .profile or .bash_profile and is located in the home directory of the SafeNet ProtectApp NGINX user).

   1. Export NAE_Properties_Conf_Filename= path of the IngrianNAE.properties file

      For example, export NAE_Properties_Conf_Filename=/opt/${properties}

   2. Export IngrianNAE_Properties_Conf_Slot_ID_Max= Max Slot ID, that is, 100.

      For example, export IngrianNAE_Properties_Conf_Slot_ID_Max=100

   3. Export IngrianNAE_Properties_Conf_SessionID_Max= Max Session ID, that is, 100.

      For example, export IngrianNAE_Properties_Conf_SessionID_Max=100

3. Ensure that the nginx.conf file is valid and error-free.

4. Start the NGINX Web Server.
