• All the software components supplied
• Only the software components you require
During the installation process, you are asked to choose which bundles and components
to install. Your choice depends on a number of considerations, including:
• The types of application that are to use the module
• The amount of disc space available for the installation
• Your company’s policy on installing software. For example, although it may be
simpler to choose all software components, your company may have a policy of not
installing any software that is not required.
On Windows, the
nShield Hardware Support bundle
and the
nShield Core Tools bundle
are mandatory, and are always installed.
On Windows, the
Windows device drivers
component is installed as part of the
Hardware Support bundle
. On Linux, the
Kernel device drivers
component is installed.
On Linux, you
must
install the
hwsp
component.
The
Core Tools bundle
contains all the Security World Software command-line utilities,
including:
•
generatekey
• Low level utilities
• Test programs
The Core Tools bundle includes the
Tcl run time
component that installs a run-time Tcl
installation within the nCipher directories. This is used by the tools for creating the
Security World and by
KeySafe
. This does not affect any other installation of Tcl on your
computer.
You need to install the Remote Administration Service component if you require remote
administration functionality. See
Preparatory tasks before installing software
and the
User Guide
for more about the Remote Administration Service.
Always install all the nShield components you need in a single installation process to
avoid subsequent issues should you wish to uninstall. You should not, for example, install
the Remote Administration Service from the Security World installation media, then later
install the Remote Administration Client from the client installation media.
Ensure that you have identified any optional components that you require before you
install the Security World Software. See
Software packages on the Security World
for more about optional components.
