ABSTRACT:
A novel manner of handling an error or exception caused by the unavailability of a slot or crypto hardware or communication network between server and hardware. As per this scheme, in the event of the unavailability of a particular slot in the hardware, the server may disable the SSL request processing within the server by setting a global “SSL Unavailable” flag. All the existing SSL requests within the server can be en-queued. If the error is because of unavailability of master slot, the server can establish a connection with a backup slot. If the error is because of unavailability of crypto hardware or communication network, then server may start a healer thread that will poll for the state of the hardware. If the exception is because of hardware reset, then server may cleanup earlier connection information and re-establish connection with the hardware, and enable SSL services.
