Symptoms

The Thales nethsm installation script configures the BIG-IP only for using module protected keys. To use OCS keys or softcards instead (only one protection type can be used at one time), you must manually configure the BIG-IP system after the installation script finishes.

Impact

Must take additional steps after installing the Thales HSM client software.

Conditions

Want to use softcard or OCS protected keys in a BIG-IP configuration.

Workaround

Manually configure the BIG-IP system to use OCS/softcard protected keys after installing the client software with the script.

Fix Information

The Thales nethsm installation script can now configure the BIG-IP system to use OCS or softcard protected keys as part of installation, instead of requiring additional steps after the script completes.
