Environment

Host Access Management and Security Server version 12.4

Situation

This technical note provides instructions to improve connection times on UNIX/non-Windows platforms in Management and Security Server.

Resolution

To improve connection times on non-Windows platforms, follow these steps after installing Management and Security Server, particularly when the system is virtualized or otherwise headless:
  1. Stop the MSS Server service.
  2. In a text editor, open
<MSS installation folder>/server/conf/container.conf
  1. Locate this line:
#wrapper.java.additional.x=-Djava.security.egd=file:///dev/urandom
  1. Edit the items in red, as follows:
    1. Remove the # to uncomment the line.
    2. Replace x with <n+1>, where <n> is the highest number noted in the other wrapper.java.additional.<n> lines.

For example, if the highest number noted is 7, the edited line would be:

wrapper.java.additional.8=-Djava.security.egd=file:///dev/urandom

  1. Save the file.
  2. Restart the MSS Server service.
