[Pki-users] CA integration and installation with HSM

[Dennis Gnatowski]

I'm using Dogtag 10.1.1 with SafeNet Luna SA HSM.  I changed the flags in the default.cfg file, performed the install, then added the PKCS#11 library to secmod.  However, either using the Wizard to do the configuration or modifying the default.cfg file again and using pkispawn failed to get CA keys generated on the HSM.  Wizard doesn't see the SafeNet library (does it have to be in a specific directory?) and pkispawn throws an error "pkispawn    : ERROR    ....... KeyError:  'pki_uid'!"  I noticed this was reported in ticket #905.

What are the steps to integrate DogTag (Root) CA with an HSM?  Does this have to occur during installation?

I can both use command line utilities (certutil) and GUI (pkiconsole) to create keys on the HSM.  Re-keying the caSigning certificate works but the CA certificate is issued (issuer) by the original software-based issuer (therefore NOT a self-signed CA cert!).  So I assume this has to be done during initial installation (custom install).  But, how do I get the HSM PKCS#11 library added/included with the custom install?

Adding the PKCS #11 module to secmod.db should happen after the pkicreate and just before running the silent install or the web based configuration wizard.
In Dogtag 10, when using pkispawn, you can split the install and
    config steps in two using the flags  pki_skip_configuration and
    pki_skip_installation.
