Fixed In:

Opened: Jan 22, 2016
Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

As part of the netHSM install, it is not possible to specify the number of threads for pkcs11d to use.

Impact

Cannot specify the number of threads for pkcs11d to use.

Conditions

Using BIG-IP versions 11.x, 12.x, or 13.0.0.

Workaround

To set the number of threads, after install, run a separate tmsh command to set the number of threads and then restart pkcs11d.

Fix Information

nethsm-thales-install.sh and nethsm-safenet-install.sh now have a --num_threads option to specify the number of threads pkcs11d will use. This simplifies the initial setup process for users that want to use a non-default number of threads.

nethsm-thales-install.sh and nethsm-safenet-install.sh now have a --num_threads option to specify the number of threads pkcs11d will use. This simplifies the initial setup process for users that want to use a non-default number of threads.
