Procedure To Install a PKCS#11 Module using the modutil

You can install PKCS#11 modules in the form of .jar files or object files using the modutil tool.

To install the PKCS#11 module using modutil, perform the following steps:

  1. Make sure all servers, including the Administration server, are turned off.

  2. Go to the server_root/alias directory containing the databases.

  3. Add server_root/bin/https/admin/bin to your PATH.

  4. Locate modutil in server_root/bin/https/admin/bin.

  5. Set the environment. For example:

    • On UNIX: setenv

      LD_LIBRARY_PATH server_root/bin/https/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

      • On IBM-AIX: LIBPATH

      • On HP-UX: SHLIB_PATH

      • On Windows, add it to the PATH

        LD_LIBRARY_PATH server_root/bin/https/bin

        You can find the PATH for your machine listed under: server_root/https-admin/start.

  6. Enter the modutil command.

    The options are listed.

  7. Perform the required actions required.

    For example, to add the PCKS#11 module in UNIX enter the following:

    modutil -add (the name of PCKS#11 file) -libfile (your libfile for PCKS#11) -nocertdb -dbdir . (your db directory)
