Enabling NIST SP800-131A compliance in the stand-alone controller

After you install the stand-alone controller, you can edit the properties file to enable NIST SP800-131A compliance.

About this task

If you install the controller component locally to start peer to peer remote control sessions, you must edit the trc_controller.cfg file to enable NIST SP800-131A compliance. To enable NIST SP800-131A compliance, complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. Edit the trc_controller.cfg file on the system that the controller is installed on.
    Windows® systems
    [controller install dir]\trc_controller.cfg

    Where [controller install dir] is the installation directory you chose when you installed the controller.

    Linux® systems
    opt/ibm/trc/controller/trc_controller.cfg
  2. Set sp800131a.compliance to true.
