SecurityServer PKCS#11 Configuration (Windows) | Utimaco Integration Guides

On windows, as part of SecurityServer software installation, cs_pkcs11_R3.cfg will get automatically created and will be available under C:\ProgramData\Utimaco\PKCS11_R3 folder.

Edit the cs_pkcs11_R3.cfg file and make the appropriate changes to the file.

cs_pkcs11_R3.cfg

[Global]

# For windows:

Logpath = C:\ProgramData\Utimaco\PKCS11_R3

# Loglevel (0 = NONE; 1 = ERROR; 2 = WARNING; 3 = INFO; 4 = TRACE)

Logging = 1

# Prevents expiring session after inactivity of 15 minutes KeepAlive = false

# Set the Device to connect with [CryptoServer]

# Device specifier Device = <HSM_IP>

For more information regarding the commands and command parameters please check the Utimaco SecurityServer documentation. The device may be a SecurityServer (PCIe or LAN) device. The device line will follow one of these patterns, based on the HSM form-factor:

Device = 288@<HSM IP address> Hardware (LAN) HSM

Device = /dev/cs2.0 Hardware (PCIe) HSM

To make your testing easier, it would be good to enable the PKCS#11 log file. That can be enabled by editing the Logging Loglevel. Set the LogPath and Logging Loglevel to 1. For testing you may want to increase it to 4. The added LogPath points to a writable directory, not to a file.

If you encounter problems, check the log file named cs_pkcs11_R3.log in the LogPath defined directory. When you are done testing, you should change Logging to 1 or 2. This will limit the logging to only critical and important messages.
