To configure your HSM, you can use Excrypt Manager, a Windows application that provides a GUI-based method, or FXCLI, a command-line-based method that you can install on all platforms. Keep the following considerations in mind:
  • If you configure the HSM from a Linux computer, skip this section and use FXCLI. If you configure it from a Windows computer, also install FXCLI, because you need it to create client certificates for mutual authentication.
  • Install Excrypt Manager on the workstation on which you plan to configure the HSM.
  • If you plan to use a Virtual HSM for the integration, you must perform all configurations by using either FXCLI, the Excrypt Touch, or the Guardian Series 3.
  • Use Excrypt Manager 4.4.x or later, which supports HSM firmware 7.2.x.x and later.
