   • Cert_File (for SSL only)

   • Key_File (for SSL only)

   • Passphrase (for SSL only)

   • Passphrase_Encrypted (for SSL only)

2. For Advanced configuration, you can update the properties file:

   • Linux

     • CADP for C CAPI - InstalledDirectory/CipherTrust/CADP_for_C/CADP_CAPI.properties

     • CADP for C PKCS#11 - InstalledDirectory/CipherTrust/CADP_for_C/CADP_PKCS11.properties

   • Windows

     • CADP for C CAPI - C:\Program Files\CipherTrust\CADP_for_C\CADP_CAPI.properties or InstalledDirectory\CADP_CAPI.properties

     • CADP for C PKCS#11 - C:\Program Files\CipherTrust\CADP_for_C\CADP_PKCS11.properties or InstalledDirectory]\CADP_PKCS11.properties

Note

After installation, if you have selected SSL protocol, ensure that there is no error log present in InstalledDirectory/logs/cadp_for_c_basic.log. If there are any error in the logs, you need to re-run the installer with correct values.
