CHAPTER 7 Prepare the Client for Network Trust Link
Note:
In the
createCert
command, provide only the unqualified hostname, rather than the
fully qualified hostname.
Next, see
"Export a Client Cert to an HSM Appliance (UNIX)" on page 104
. That is the other half of the certificate
exchange that creates the secure NTLS link.
Export a Client Cert to an HSM Appliance (UNIX)
Send the client certificate (that you created on the previous page) to the HSM appliance, as follows.
The command is:
bash-2.05# scp /usr/safenet/lunaclient/cert/client/<clientCert>.pem
admin@<serverhostname-or-IP>:
You are prompted for the HSM appliance admin password.
Example
bash-2.05# cd ../cert/client
bash-2.05# ls
myClient1Key.pem myClient1.pem
bash-2.05# scp myClient1.pem admin@myLuna3:
You must scp to the admin account on the HSM appliance, or the client certificate will not register correctly.
Note:
For networks without DNS, use the HSM appliance's IP address, instead of the
hostname.
Example
bash-2.05# cd ../cert/client
bash-2.05# ls
<client-ip-address>Key.pem <client-ip-address>.pem
bash-2.05# scp <client-ip-address>.pem admin@<appliance-ip-address>:
Note:
The “:” after the destination is required. Without the colon, scp does not recognize the
supplied destination as a remote server. The file arriving at the HSM is automatically placed in
the appropriate directory. Do not specify a directory for destination.
Next, see
"Register the Client Certificate to an HSM Server" on page 105
, to continue the setup (configuration is nearly
done at this point).
