To establish a connection between the Futurex PKCS #11 library and the Excrypt HSM, you must configure the HSM with the following features:
  • PKCS #11 enabled.
  • Command Primary Mode set to General Purpose (GP).
To check the features with FXCLI, run feature list and confirm that PKCS11 and GPMODE are set to 1.
For information about how to update features on your HSM, see the Download Feature Request File section of the Excrypt HSM user guide.
Setting the Command Primary Mode on the HSM to General Purpose (GP) enables the option to create the FTK major key on the HSM. You need this key to use the Futurex PKCS #11 library to communicate with the HSM. For information about how to load major keys on the HSM, see the Excrypt HSM user guide.
