Overview

Complete the following high-level steps to prepare each Atalla HSM for use with the Appliance. This process assumes that you have already followed the instructions in Chapter 3, “Hardware Installation” in the Installation and Operations Guide for the Atalla HSM AT1000 manual.

  1. Obtain the configuration and documentation files from the OpenText Software Support website.

  2. Update the configuration file and copy it to the USB device.

  3. Create the security association and an Master File Key (MFK). If your AT1000s are running version 8.30 or later, you must create an MFK with AES encryption (AMK).

  4. If you need to copy image and certificate template files to the Atalla HSM USB device, see the

Atalla_HSM_AT1000_UserDocs_v8.XX.zip file for information.

  1. Configure SSL on the Atalla HSM for mutual authentication with the Appliance.

  2. If you are upgrading or have already upgraded AT1000(s) to software version 8.30 or later, see Migrate the Appliance (to 7.0.0 and later) With Atalla Software version 8.30 or later page 30 for important information on the upgrade process.
