Impact of service restart ntls

If you perform a “service restart ntls” on a live, or production Luna appliance, any active sessions would be lost. That is, HSM Partitions would remain active, but Clients would need to re-attach and re-authenticate.

As a general rule, an NTLS restart is required immediately after a server certificate regeneration on a Luna appliance. This occurs in only two circumstances:

• as part of original installation and setup

or

• if you have reason to suspect that the Luna appliance's server certificate (private key) has been compromised.

In the former case, there is no impact. In the latter case, the brief disruption of active Clients would be overshadowed by the seriousness of the compromise.
