First, demonstrate that we have access to the HSM, at the Device Specifier found in the configuration file above.
The steps below use a combination of csadm and p11tool2 commands.
The following steps are also possible using the CAT (CryptoServer Administration Tool) and the P11CAT (PKCS#11 CryptoServer Administration Tool).
To verify access, use the csadm tool:
>_Console

The response to a GetState command is either a table of current data about the state of the CryptoServer, or it is a connection timeout message:
>_Console
|
TIP
CryptoServers (HSMs and the Simulator) come with a default ADMIN user and ADMIN. key keyfile, which can be used as the initial login. Utimaco recommends that you delete this ADMIN user once you have installed your own admin users. Do not delete the ADMIN.key, however, as returning an HSM to its factory configuration will return the ADMIN (and delete all the other users and all key material).
