Installing CAKM for Oracle TDE on Windows

You can install CAKM for Oracle TDE using GUI Based Installation or in silent mode. In both ways:

• For External CA configuration, first complete the installation with the TCP protocol. Then, manually configure the SSL settings by updating the required parameters (client cert, client key, and external CA) in the CADP_PKCS11.properties file.

• To set up the SSL configuration manually after installation with TCP, follow the steps mentioned in Setting up SSL/TLS.

The Oracle database must be restarted after installation, upgradation, and changing the configuration of CAKM for Oracle TDE.

Silent Installation

For silent installation, provide basic configuration settings (such as, SERVER_IP, SERVER_PORT, SERVER_PROTOCOL, and more) in the cakm_for_oracle_tde_basic.conf file available in the path C:\Program Files\CipherTrust\CAKM For SQLServerEKM\utilities. These settings are updated automatically in the CADP_PKCS11.properties file after the silent installation is complete.

To install CAKM for Oracle TDE silently:

1. Enter all the details in cakm_for_oracle_tde_basic.conf file.

2. Execute the following command:

   setup.exe /s /v"/qn CONFIGPATH=<path of cakm_for_oracle_tde_basic.conf file>"
   

Do not use cakm_for_oracle_tde_basic.exe for any operation. It is for internal use by CAKM for Oracle TDE.

Now, you need to perform Post-installation Steps.

Post-installation Steps

The receiving directory is a fixed location. Oracle searches for this directory. It cannot be changed. Changing the directory name results in a "cannot find PKCS11 library" error.

1. Create a %SYSTEM_DRIVE%\oracle\extapi\<ARCH>\hsm\CipherTrust\CAKM_for_Oracle_TDE directory. Where %SYSTEM_DRIVE% is a drive on the database server (for example, C: or D:) and <ARCH> is the system architecture (either 32 or 64).

   This point onward, in this document, <ARCH> is used as 64. If the system architecture is different, adjust the value accordingly.

2. Copy the libcadp_pkcs11.dll file from C:\Program Files\CipherTrust\CAKM_for_Oracle_TDE to %SYSTEM_DRIVE%\oracle\extapi\64\hsm\CipherTrust\CAKM_for_Oracle_TDE.

After installing CAKM for Oracle TDE, you can further configure CAKM for Oracle TDE to meet the needs of your environment. Refer to the Configuring CAKM for Oracle TDE for details.
