Using different socket network processes (Unix and Linux systems)

When openUTM is installed, two types of socket network processes are provided in utmpath/ex.

• • utmnets resp. utmnetsnnnn: socket netprocesses with communication without encryption
  • utmnetssl: socket netprocess with TLS encryption

Socket netprocesses without encryption

The network processes of the first type provide several variants. They differ mainly in the number of socket connections that may be active in parallel. The maximum number is indicated in the file name, e.g. utmnets1024 is the socket network process for up to 1024 socket connections.

After installation, the process for up to 1024 parallel connections is used by default. The name of the currently active socket network process is always utmnets.

If you want to use a different socket network process, e.g. utmnets2000 for up to 2000 socket connections, proceed as follows.

1. Terminate the UTM application

2. Copy utmpath/ex/utmnets2000 to utmpath/ex/utmnets
   To do this, you need the root authorization.

3. Restart the UTM application

Socket netprocesses with TLS encryption

Only one variant of the TLS network process is provided. A maximum of 1024 socket connections can be active in parallel per utmnetssl process.
