NAME

       ncad_addr - name of the Solaris Network Cache and Accelerator (NCA) socket utility library

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/ncad_addr.so

DESCRIPTION

       ncad_addr.so is the Solaris Network Cache and Accelerator (NCA) socket utility library. Use this library with a web server to avoid support
       for the PF_NCA family type socket. The web server can take advantage of NCA functionality.

       Interpose the ncad_addr interfaces before the interfaces in libsocket by setting the environment variable  LD_PRELOAD  to  ncad_addr.so	so
       that it is preloaded before libsocket.so.1. The ncad_addr.so interfaces will be interposed only if NCA is enabled. See ncakmod(1).

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Interposing ncad_addr

       Using Bourne shell syntax as an example, set LD_PRELOAD as shown below to interpose the ncad_addr socket utility libary:

       LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/ncad_addr.so /usr/bin/httpd

FILES

       /usr/lib/ncad_addr.so   ncad_addr socket utility library shared object

NOTES

NAME

       ncakmod.conf - ncakmod configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/nca/ncakmod.conf

DESCRIPTION

       The  ncakmod.conf  file is used to configure the Solaris Network Cache and Accelerator ("NCA") kernel module. The file contains two fields,
       key and value.

       The status key is used to indicate if the user wants to have NCA turned on as a feature.  If the value of status key is enabled,  then  the
       NCA  kernel  module  will  be pushed on to the specified interfaces. If the value of the status key is disabled, then the NCA kernel module
       will not be pushed on to any interfaces . The default is disabled.

       The httpd_door_path key specifies the path name of the Solaris Door RPC mechanism that will be used to communicate with	the  http  daemon.
       The default value is /var/run/nca_httpd_1.door.

       Use the nca_active key to indicate whether to allow NCA to actively open outgoing TCP connections. The default value for nca_active is dis-
       abled. If set to enabled, ncaconfd sets up NCA for each interface and then operates as a daemon, allowing NCA to make outgoing TCP  connec-
       tions. This functionality is possible only by using the doors interface to NCA. A web server that uses the sockets interface with PF_NCA or
       ncad_addr.so cannot connect by means of nca_active.

       NCA supports the logging of in-kernel cache hits. See ncalogd.conf(4). NCA stores logs in a binary format. Use the ncab2clf(1)  utility	to
       convert the log from a binary format to the Common Log File format.

       In order to implement changes to the ncakmod.conf file, you will need to reboot.

EXAMPLES

	 httpd_door_path=/var/run/nca_httpd_1.door
	 nca_active=disabled
