NAME

ods-hsmutil - OpenDNSSEC HSM utility

SYNOPSIS

ods-hsmutil [-c config] [-v] command [options]

DESCRIPTION

The ods-hsmutil utility is mainly used for debugging or testing. It is designed to interact directly with your HSM and can be used to manually list, create or delete keys. It can also be used to perform a set of basics HSM tests. Be careful before creating or deleting keys using ods-hsmutil, as the changes are not synchronized with the KASP Enforcer. The repositories are configured by the user in the OpenDNSSEC configuration file. The configuration contains the name of the repository, the token label, the user PIN, and the path to its shared library.

COMMANDS

login
    If there is no PIN in conf.xml, then this command will ask for it and login. The PINs are stored in a shared memory and are accessible to the other daemons.

logout
    Will erase the semaphore and the shared memory containing any credentials. Authenticated processes will still be able to interact with the HSM.
