Using External Encryption Modules
Enterprise Server 6.0 supports the following methods of using external
cryptographic modules such as smart cards or token rings:
•
PKCS#11
•
FIPS-140
You will need to add the PKCS #11 module before activating the FIPS-140
encryption standard.
Installing the PKCS#11Module
Enterprise Server supports Public Key Cryptography Standard (PKCS) #11, which
defines the interface used for communication between SSL and PKCS#11 modules.
PKCS#11 modules are used for standards-based connectivity to SSL hardware
accelerators. Imported certificates and keys for external hardware accelerators are
stored in the
secmod.db
file, which is generated when the PKCs#11 module is
installed.
Using modutil to Install a PKCS#11 Module
You can install PKCS#11 modules in the form of
.jar
files or object files using the
modutil
tool.
To install the PKCS#11 module using
modutil
, perform the following steps:
1.
Make sure all servers, including the Administration server, are turned off.
2.
Go to the
server_root/alias directory
containing the databases.
3.
Add
server_root/bin/https/admin/bin
to your PATH.
4.
Locate
modutil
in
server_root/bin/https/admin/bin
.
5.
Set the environment. For example:
❍
On UNIX:
setenv
LD_LIBRARY_PATH server_root/bin/https/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
❍
On IBM-AIX:
LIBPATH
❍
On HP-UX:
SHLIB_PATH
❍
On NT, add it to the
PATH
