Environmental variables

On Unix platforms in general and Linux in particular, the library's operating parameters are configured via system variables. On Windows platforms, the graphical console can also be used.

To define the scope of the environment variable (per process, per user or global) consult your operating system's documentation.

The options currently supported are¹:

• HSM_DISABLE_SESSION_CACHE
• HSM_LOAD_BALANCE_LIST
• HSM_LB_FILE_REFRESH_INTERVAL
• HSM_BALANCE_SUSPEND_TIME
• HSM_PIX_HTTP_CONN_REFRESH_INTERVAL
• HSM_LOG_LEVEL
• HSM_LOG_DIR
• HSM_LOG_FLUSH
• HSM_MAX_SOCKET_RETRIES
• HSM_MAX_CONNECT_RETRIES
• HSM_CONNECT_TIMEOUT
• HSM_RECV_TIMEOUT
• HSM_SEND_TIMEOUT
• HSM_DISABLE_LEGACY_OPERATIONS
• HSM_DS_ADDRESS
• HSM_DS_API_KEY
• HSM_DS_TIMEOUT
