Catalog –
• Disable catalog update – This option corresponds to the catalog_max_age extended option
value of –1. By selecting this box, you are instructing SWA to skip the catalog download
step. If this option is not checked, the behavior is for SWA to download a new catalog if the
current catalog was created on the HPSC more than 24 hours ago. The creation date is based
on the timestamp recorded inside the file.
Because it's important to use the most current catalog from HP, this selection must be explicitly
selected each time you want to disable the catalog download.
Networking –
• Disable crl check – When downloading the catalog, SWA requires the Certificate Revocation
List (CRL) to be updated and checked for the trusted Certificate Authority (CA) certificate being
used to validate the remote server. This is the default behavior. You can skip the CRL check
by selecting this box. Checking the CRL requires regular downloads from the CA, which can
lengthen the SWA run time. Also, disabling the CRL check can sometimes be a workaround
for errors. See Appendix B (page 45) for more information.
• Specify proxy – With this, you may specify a proxy host and port (with optional HTTP basic
authentication username and password) for accessing content using the relevant protocol. The
following format is used:
http://[user:password@]proxy-server[:port]
For example,
http://web-proxy.mycompany.com:8088
If a username and password are specified as authentication credentials to your proxy server,
HTTP basic authentication is used, which is a clear-text protocol (your password might be
visible to others on your network). If you do not have a standard proxy, you can also specify
an arbitrary command for downloading files – use the download_cmd extended option. The
