This page provides troubleshooting details for common minor errors and solutions that you may encounter with your Luna Cloud HSM Service.

Client Connectivity Support Tool

The client connectivity support tool is an executable utility which validates the client connection to the Luna Cloud HSM Service. The lch-support-linux-64bit (Linux) and lch-support-win-64bit (Windows) is included in the client package downloaded from the Luna Cloud HSM Service.

The client connectivity support tool incrementally validates the client connection to the Luna Cloud HSM Service. If a validation step fails the check is marked as FAIL and any subsequent connectivity checks are marked as SKIP. To return more detailed errors run the tool with --verbose.

For more information about the client connection to the Luna Cloud HSM Service see Client Network Connectivity and Service Client Communication Protection.

Example

To run the client connectivity support tool, execute the following from your client folder.

.\lch-support-win-64bit.exe

./lch-support-linux-64bit

Errors

./setenv:24: = not found

The setenv command is only supported while using bash.

MSVCP140.dll Error

If you encounter the error MSVCP140.dll it means that your client host system is missing the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 prerequisite. Refer to the section Luna Cloud HSM Services Supported Client Platforms for more details about required client prerequisites.

LUNA_RET_XTC_ERROR (80001600) Error

You may encounter the error DPoD:Unable to communicate with the service. Error code:LUNA_RET_XTC_ERROR (80001600) upon launching LunaCM or starting other applications against your Luna Cloud HSM Service. This indicates a problem with the Transferable Token Channel (XTC) connection to the HSM due to clock drift. Synchronize your client host with an NTP server and re-attempt a connection to your service. As part of normal operation, regularly and automatically synchronize to an NTP server as client operations rely on accurate time.

CKR_MECHANISM_INVALID messages in mixed implementations

When using DPoD with a Luna Cloud HSM Service, you may encounter errors such as CKR_MECHANISM_INVALID or Error NCryptFinalizeKey during some operations in Hybrid HA and FIPS mode (3DES issue). This can occur if firmware versions differ between a Luna Network HSM partition and a Luna Cloud HSM Service in an HA group when you invoke a mechanism that is not supported by another member of the group. Similarly, if one member is in FIPS mode, while the other is not, a mechanism might be requested that is allowed for one member, but not the other. For example, the ms2luna tool can fail when 3DES operations are invoked.

CKR_PIN_EXPIRED Error

If you encounter the error CKR_PIN_EXPIRED, or if the function C_GenerateKeyPair returns 0xa3, it means that the crypto officer password was not changed following the initial log in.

When you create the crypto officer, you set a temporary password for the role. On first log in, you need to execute role changepw -name CO in order to update the password from the password that was set by the security officer.

If you are unable to log in to the crypto officer role, you need to re-initialize the crypto officer role and immediately reset the password. In LunaCM execute the following and respond to the prompts:

1. role init -name Crypto Officer

2. role login -name CO

3. role changepw -name CO

dll load failed with GetLast Error() 126

lunacm.exe will return the following error if:

• the cvclient-min.zip or cvclient-min.tar folder contents are not extracted into the parent folder.
• the setenv script has not been run.

lunacm fails to connect with no error

lunacm.exe application can hang and fail to connect due to a misconfigured proxy file. Luna Cloud HSM Services communicate over HTTPS, as a result communications with Luna Cloud HSM Service require access to outgoing port 443 and DNS services.

If lunacm.exe hangs with the following, terminate the application with ctrl + c and verify your proxy configuration.

C:\Users\user\Desktop\service_client>lunacm
lunacm (64-bit) v10.1.0-32. Copyright (c) 2019 SafeNet. All rights reserved.

See Configuring a Client Proxy for more information on configuring your client proxy to work with the client.

CKR_MAX_SESSION_COUNT Error

New versions of the client disallow more mechanisms in FIPS mode than in previous versions, in keeping with NIST's updates to the FIPS standard. As a result, client applications that rely on these mechanisms can no longer operate in FIPS mode.

In general, 3DES, MAC, some key wrapping algorithms, and some key agreement algorithms are no longer allowed in FIPS mode. In addition, please see the Supported Mechanisms chapter in the SDK Guide for further details on FIPS support.

Clients which exceed the token object and session object limits can experience slow or failed request responses. The session limit is enforced, and the client receives the errors CKR_MAX_SESSION_COUNT when the application reaches the limit.

Generic Platform Error

Errors display an "incident ID". If you choose to contact your service provider for this error, note the incident ID and provide it to the service provider as it will assist the DPoD operations team in diagnosing the problem.

Failed to retrieve authentication token configuration from

If your network blocks all HTTP traffic the client connection to LunaCM will fail and return the error message Failed to retrieve authentication token configuration from <URL>. This error occurs because the Luna Cloud HSM Service is unable to access the HSM back end.

Ensure that Windows operating systems hosting the client are able to validate the server certificate status (OCSP/CRL) using port 80. HTTP traffic to the issuer of the SSL certificates must be permitted on the users network.

Testing Performance using Multitoken

The multitoken utility is a demonstration tool that can be used to test basic cryptographic functions on a Luna Cloud HSM. It allows you to specify an operation and the "slots" (partitions) on which to run the operation and returns a summary of the results.

To Access Multitoken

1. Open a command window.

2. Go to the Luna Cloud HSM directory/folder.

3. Launch multitoken.

   
   multitoken
   

You can run tests using the syntax multitoken -mode <mode> {-slots <slot_list> | -nslots <slot_threads>} [options...]

Windows Operating Systems

If using a Microsoft Windows Server the server requires the following prerequisites to connect to the client:

• Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3
• Universal C Runtime (CRT) Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 requires Universal C Runtime (CRT) to be installed. Older Windows versions may not have this installed. If not installed, you will get a "Setup Failed" error. If this occurs, you will need to install Universal C Runtime in Windows update, and its prerequisites.
