Updating UDS Connectivity Configuration

To update the default UDS connectivity settings, you must use the UDS Connectivity Configuration page.

Follow these steps:

  1. Ensure that you are logged in as the MA.
  2. Activate the Services and Server Configurations tab.
  3. Click the CA Advanced Authentication option on the submenu of the tab.
  4. Under the System Configuration section on the side-bar menu, click the UDS Connectivity Configuration link to display the page.
  5. Specify the parameters, explained in the following table, on the page. All the enabled parameters on this page are mandatory.

Parameter

Default Value

Description

Protocol

TCP

The protocol to connect to the UDS service by using CA Advanced Authentication. The available options are:

  • TCP: If you want to implement unencrypted information exchange between UDS and CA Advanced Authentication, CA Risk Authentication Server, and the CA Risk Authentication Database.
  • One-Way SSL: If you want to implement SSL communication between UDS and CA Risk Authentication components, and CA Risk Authentication components must present their certificates when accessing UDS.
  • Two-Way SSL: If you want to implement SSL communication between UDS and CA Risk Authentication components, and both UDS and CA Risk Authentication components must present their certificates during information exchange.

Host

localhost

The IP address or host name where the UDS service is available.

Port

8080

The port at which the UDS service is available.

Application Context Root

arcotuds

The application context that is specified when UDS is deployed on the application server.

Connection Timeout (in milliseconds)

30000

Maximum time in milliseconds before the UDS service is considered unreachable.

Read Timeout (in milliseconds)

10000

The maximum time in milliseconds to wait for a response from UDS.

Idle Timeout (in milliseconds)

30000

The time (in milliseconds) after which an idle connection not serving requests will be closed.

Server Root Certificate

 

The path to the Certificate Authority (CA) certificate file of the UDS server. The file must be in PEM format.

Note: This field will not be enabled if you selected the TCP option in the Protocol field.

Client Certificate

Note: This field will not be enabled if you selected the TCP or One-Way SSL option in the Protocol field.

Client Private Key

 

The location of the file that contains the CA's private key. The path can be an absolute path or relative to ARCOT_HOME.

Note: This field will not be enabled if you selected the TCP or One-Way SSL option in the Protocol field.

Minimum Connections

4

The minimum number of connections that will be created between CA Risk Authentication Server and the UDS server.

Maximum Connections

32

The maximum number of connections that can be created between CA Risk Authentication Server and the UDS server.
