Edit the Futurex PKCS #11 configuration file

the fxpkcs11 cfg file enables you to set the fxpkcs #11 library to connect to the {{k3}} to edit the file, run a text editor as an administrator on windows or root on linux, and edit the configuration file accordingly most notably, you must set the fields described in this section inside the \<kms> section of the file our pkcs #11 library expects to find the pkcs #11 config file in a certain location (c \program files\futurex\fxpkcs11\fxpkcs11 cfg for windows and /etc/fxpkcs11 cfg for linux), but you can override that location by using the fxpkcs11 cfg environment variable to configure the fxpkcs11 cfg file, edit the following sections of the partial file sample \<kms> \# which pkcs11 slot \<slot> 0 \</slot> \# login username \<crypto opr> crypto1 \</crypto opr> \# key group name \#\<keygroup name> keygroup1 \</keygroup name> \# asymmetric key group name \<asym keygroup name> asymkeygroup1 \</asym keygroup name> \# connection information \<address> 10 0 8 20 \</address> \<prod port> 2001 \</prod port> \<prod tls enabled> yes \</prod tls enabled> \<prod tls anonymous> no \</prod tls anonymous> \<prod tls ca> /connection certs/root tls cert pem \</prod tls ca> \<prod tls cert> /connection certs/signed fxpkcs11 tls cert pem \</prod tls cert> \<prod tls key> /connection certs/fxpkcs11 tls privatekey pem \</prod tls key> \# \<prod tls key pass> safest \</prod tls key pass> \# yes = this is communicating through a guardian \<fx load balance> no \</fx load balance> \</kms> field description \<slot> can leave it set to the default value of 0 \<crypto opr> specify the name of the identity created on the kmes \<keygroup name> you can comment out this field for this integration because ansible needs only an asymmetric key pair on the {{k}} for the operations detailed in this guide you might use this field when an application needs to create symmetric keys on the {{k}} \<asym keygroup name> define the asymmetric key group name for this integration the system adds the asymmetric key that pkcs11 tool creates on the {{k}} to a key group with the name you specify here \<address> specify the ip address of the {{k}} to which the pkcs #11 library should connect \<log file> set the path of the pkcs #11 log file \<prod port> set the pkcs #11 library to connect to the default host api port on the kmes, port 2001 \<prod tls enabled> set the field to yes the only way to connect to the host api port on the {{k}} is over tls \<prod tls anonymous> set this value to no because you're connecting to the host api port by using mutual authentication this field defines whether the pkcs #11 library authenticates to the {{k}} \<prod tls ca> define the location of the ca certificates with one or more instances of this tag in this example, there is only one ca certificate \<prod tls cert> set the location of the signed client certificate \<prod tls key> set the location of the client private key supported formats for the tls private key are pkcs #1 clear private keys, pkcs #8 encrypted private keys, or a pkcs #12 file that contains the private key and certificates encrypted under a password \<prod tls key pass> set the password of the pkcs #12 file, if necessary \<fx load balance> set this field to yes if you use a guardian to manage {{k3}} devices in a cluster if you don't use a guardian, set it to no you must add the following define lines to the \<config> section of the fxpkcs11 configuration file for the ansible integration \<forced symmetric usage> encrypt | decrypt \</forced symmetric usage> \<forced asymmetric usage> sign | verify \</forced asymmetric usage>
