HSM advanced parameters and preferences settings

Although most parameter default settings are appropriate, you can customize some settings.

Table 1 displays the advanced parameters. For all parameters except the Timeout parameter, the Parameter name column shows you the parameter name and Windows registry path from the end of this common path: HKLM\SOFTWARE\IBM\ADSM\CurrentVersion\HsmClient\. The Timeout parameter full path is listed in the Parameter name column.
