SafeNet Network HSM
The SafeNet Network HSM 7 (formerly known as Luna SA) is a network HSM which allows users to create a partition to store a key, such as the RA key required to strongly authenticate to the DigiCert® Trust Lifecycle Manager. It includes many features that increase security, connectivity, and ease of administration in dedicated and shared security applications.
To access the partition of SafeNet Network HSM 7, use the Luna HSM Client through Network Trust Link Service (NTLS).

Network
(Optional) Remote PED
Check the following Features (optional features depending on your environment):
CSP(CAPI) / KSP(CNG)
(Optional) JCE / JCA Provider (JSP)
(Optional) PKCS #11 (JCProv)
Check the Software License Agreement, and then select INSTALL.
Wait for completion. The progress bar is displayed at the bottom of the window.
Once the installation is complete, select OK. The UNINSTALL and MODIFY button is displayed. Select QUIT.
Configure Luna HSM Client
Before following the steps listed below, a partition must be created. This is referred to as <PARTITION-NAME> throughout this document.
Follow these steps to configure the Luna HSM Client:
Open a Command Prompt window and run the following commands:
> cd C:\Program Files\SafeNet\LunaClient > lunacm.exe
Create a Network Trust Link (NTL) - this is a one-step setup. If you have already created an NTL, proceed to step 4.
lunacm:> clientconfig deploy -server <SERVER-HOSTNAME> -client <CLIENT-HOSTNAME> -par <PARTITION-NAME> Please wait while we set up the connection to the HSM. This may take several minutes... Please enter appliance admin role user's password: Command Result : No Error lunacm.exe (64-bit) v10.5.0-470. Copyright (c) 2022 SafeNet. All rights reserved. Slot Id -> 1 Label -> <PARTITION-NAME> Serial Number -> 1314971349473 Model -> LunaSA 7.2.0 Firmware Version -> 7.0.3 Configuration -> Luna User Partition With SO (PED) Signing With Cloning Mode Slot Description -> Net Token Slot FM H Status -> FM Ready Current Slot Id: 1 lunacm:> clientconfig v The following Luna SA Slots/Partitions were found: Slot Serial # Label ==== ================ ===== 1 1314971349473 <PARTITION-NAME> Command Result : No Error
If you do not want to follow the one step setup (Step 2 above), follow these steps:
Obtain the Server certificate.
The Server certificate has been created on the HSM, so it needs to be copied from the server.
> pscp -scp admin@<SERVER-HOSTNAME>:server.pem
Add a Server for the Client side.
> vtl addServer -n <SERVER-HOSTNAME> -c server.pem New server <SERVER-HOSTNAME> successfully added to server list.
Create a Client certificate.
> vtl createCert -n <CLIENT-HOSTNAME> Private Key created and written to: C:\Program Files\SafeNet\LunaClient\cert\client\<CLIENT-HOSTNAME>Key.pem Certificate created and written to: C:\Program Files\SafeNet\LunaClient\cert\client\<CLIENT-HOSTNAME>.pem
Upload the Client certificate to the Server.
> pscp -scp cert\client\<CLIENT-HOSTNAME>.pem admin@<SERVER-HOSTNAME>: admin@<SERVER-HOSTNAME>'s password: <CLIENT-HOSTNAME>.pem | 1 kB | 1.1 kB/s | ETA: 00:00:00 | 100%
Next, at the Server:
Register the Client and connect to the HSM via SSH.
lunash:> client register -client <CLIENT-HOSTNAME> -hostname <CLIENT-HOSTNAME> 'client register' successful. Command Result : 0 (Success)
Assign a partition to a Client and connect to the HSM via SSH.
lunash:> client assignPartition -client <CLIENT-HOSTNAME> -partition <PARTITION-NAME> 'client assignPartition' successful. Command Result : 0 (Success)
Now, at the Client:
Confirm connection settings.
The working directory is C:\Program Files\SafeNet\LunaClient
> vtl listServers Server: <SERVER-HOSTNAME> HTL required: no > vtl verify vtl (64-bit) v10.5.0-470. Copyright (c) 2022 SafeNet. All rights reserved. The following Luna SA Slots/Partitions were found: Slot Serial # Label ==== ================ ===== 1 1314971349473 <PARTITION-NAME>
Configure logging (optional). The working directory is C:\Program Files\SafeNet\LunaClient. The name of the log folder is c:\temp in the following example and it can be changed.
> vtl logging configure c:\temp Success setting log path to c:\temp > vtl logging show Client logging written to: c:\temp\LunaCryptokiLog.htm
Configure High Availability (HA)
Create an HA Group.
Open a Command Prompt window and run the following client commands:
> cd C:\Program Files\SafeNet\LunaClient > lunacm.exe lunacm:> slot set -s <SLOT-NUMBER> lunacm:> hagroup creategroup -se <SERIALNUMBER> -label <HA-LABEL> Enter the password: ************ New group with label "HAGroup" created with group number <SERIALNUMBER>.

Command Result : No Error lunacm:> hagroup ho -s This system is configured to show only HA slots. (HA Only is enabled) Command Result : No Error
Configure CSP
注意
For the deployment of the Autoenrollment Server, you need to configure CSP.
For SafeNet CSP, the utility register.exe (64-bit version) takes care of the registry. To configure CSP, open a Command Prompt window and run the following commands:
Register CSP Library
C:\Program Files\SafeNet\LunaClient\CSP>register.exe /library register.exe (64-bit) v10.5.0-470. Copyright (c) 2022 SafeNet. All rights reserved.

注意
When you click Register Slot, there is no change on Registered Slot, but this step is necessary.
When registering the Luna KSP (with the Luna KSPConfig utility), use the following user and domain combinations:
The user and domain performing these procedures.
The user and domain running the web application and using the private key.
The local user and NT Authority domain user.
The LocalSystem and NTAuthority of the system.
注意
If you implement the Autoenrollment server, you must also install and register the Luna CSP. Refer to the SafeNet product documentation for details.
Generate CSR
Create the information file for the CSR. To generate the CSR using certreq.exe through CSP, the ProviderName must be Luna Cryptographic Services for Microsoft Windows. The .inf file looks as follows:
[NewRequest] KeyUsageProperty = "NCRYPT_ALLOW_ALL_USAGES" RequestType = PKCS10 ProviderName = "Luna Cryptographic Services for Microsoft Windows" ProviderType = 1 Subject = "CN=Registration Authority" KeyContainer = "CSPRA20220725" MachineKeySet = TRUE HashAlgorithm = SHA256 KeyAlgorithm = RSA KeyLength = 2048
Generate the CSR through HSM.
注意
<inf-file> is the file created in step 1, <csr-file> is an output file.
Open command prompt and run the following command:
> certreq -new <inf-file> <csr-file>
The CSR file will be generated as follows;
-----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST----- MIIDjzCCAncCAQAwITEfMB0GA1UEAwwWUmVnaXN0cmF0aW9uIEF1dGhvcml0eTCC .... C610uaqncn6FvLu5pygZYFEVtOanCXNQRRUWiDGWKjHF+10GMh+V5YUur55T4W80 0uwK -----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
