488 CHAPTER C: CHANGING 3WXM SERVICES PREFERENCES
4 To change the number of times 3WXM Services will reattempt to query a
WX switch, if 3WXM Services does not receive a reply to the first query
attempt within the connect timeout, type or select the value in the Retry
Count box. You can specify from 0 to 5 retries. The default is 5 retries.
5 To prevent 3WXM Services from accepting all types of certificates from
the WX switches it monitors, click Accept all certificates to disable the
option.
By default, 3WXM Services accepts certificates from WX switches
regardless of whether they are generated by a certificate authority (CA)
or they are self-signed certificates. When you disable this option, the
Accept self-signed certificates option remains enabled.
6 To prevent 3WXM Services from accepting self-signed certificates from
the WX switches it monitors, click Accept self-signed certificates to
disable the option.
When both the Accept all certificates and Accept self-signed
certificates options are disabled, 3WXM Services accepts only-CA
generated certificates.
7 To specify a key store filename and a password to protect access to that
file:
a Enter the filename in the File box.
b To change the file type for the key store file, select one of the
following:
 PKCS12 — Public-Key Cryptography Standard number 12, the
standard format used by Unix machines.
 JKS — Java Key Store, a format used by Java platforms and
applications.
c Enter the password in the Password box.
When both the Accept all certificates and Accept self-signed
certificates options are disabled, and you specify a key store file, the
3WXM Services accepts a certificate from a WX switch only if the public
key information for that certificate is in the key store file.
