Crypto Server HSM Integration

Integrating GaraSign with the Crypto Server HSM is done by performing the following steps on each GaraSign Signing and Administration server:

  1. Install and configure the Crypto Server Client including the PKCS#11 provider

  2. Install the appropriate GaraSign software for the server type (i.e., GaraSign signing software for Signing Server and GaraSign admin software for Administration Server)

  3. Ensure the PKCS#11 provider is in the system path

  4. Start (or restart) the Tomcat instances on the Signing and Administration servers

  5. From the GaraSign Administrative Console, create a key container of type Utimaco Security Server

Details for step 1 can be found in your Utimaco documentation. Details for step 2 can be found in your GaraSign documentation, although this is typically handled by your GaraSign professional services personnel.

The rest of this section focuses on step 5 – creating the key container in the GaraSign Administrative Console.
