3.1 Enabling an HSM in a Primary-Standby Pre-Release 12.2 Oracle Key Vault Installation

You can use SSH to enable an HSM in a primary-standby Oracle Key Vault installation on release 12.2.0.5.0 and earlier.

While performing the procedure HSM in a Primary-Standby Oracle Key Vault Installation under Vendor Specific Notes for nCipher on Oracle Key Vault 12.2.0.5.0 and earlier, use the following commands:

1. Perform the following manual steps on the intended primary as user oracle:

   $ ssh support@okv_primary_instance_ip_address
   support$ su root
   root# su oracle
   oracle$ cd /usr/local/okv/hsm/wallet
   oracle$ scp cwallet.sso support@okv_standby_instance_ip_address:/tmp
   oracle$ scp enctdepwd support@okv_standby_instance_ip_address:/tmp

2. Perform the following manual steps on the intended standby as user root:

   $ ssh support@okv_standby_instance_ip_address
   support$ su root
   root# cd /usr/local/okv/hsm/wallet
   root# mv /tmp/enctdepwd .
   root# mv /tmp/cwallet.sso .
   root# chown oracle *
   root# chgrp oinstall *

3.2 Enabling the HSM_ENABLED Parameter in the Pre-Release 12.2 okv_security.conf File

You can enable an HSM in a high availability Oracle Key Vault 12.2.0.5.0 and earlier installation.

While performing the procedure Enabling HSM in a High Availability Key Vault Installation on Oracle Key Vault 12.2.0.5.0 and earlier, use the following commands.

1. Perform the following manual steps on the primary node as user oracle:

   root# cd /usr/local/okv/hsm/wallet
   root# scp cwallet.sso support@okv_standby_instance_ip_address:/tmp
   root# scp enctdepwd support@okv_standby_instance_ip_address:/tmp
   

2. Enable the HSM_ENABLED parameter in the okv_security.conf file:

   root# cd /usr/local/okv/hsm/wallet
   root# mv /tmp/enctdepwd .
   root# mv /tmp/cwallet.sso .
   root# chown oracle *
   root# chgrp oinstall *
   root# vi /usr/local/okv/etc/okv_security.conf
      Set HSM_ENABLED="1"
      Set HSM_PROVIDER="provider_value"

   In this specification:

   • HSM_ENABLED is set in this example to 1 to enable the HSM for this node. Setting it to 0 disables the HSM.
   • HSM_PROVIDER refers to the HSM provider. For SafeNet, set this value to 1. For nCipher, set it to 2.
