cmu
NOTE This is a general-purpose tool intended for use across Luna HSM versions. It might reference mechanisms and features that are not available on all Luna products.
This section provides a detailed description of each function available in the Certificate Management Utility.
The command function is the first parameter on the command line that invokes the CMU application. It does not require a leading dash character. All options follow the command function and do employ leading dashes. Only a single command function can be specified with each invocation of the CMU application.
cmu <function> <-parameter_name[=parameter_value]>
Most functions take parameters, some of which may be mandatory, and some optional. Parameters may, in turn, take values. If a parameter takes a value, then the general syntax is to write the command cmu, followed by a space, followed by a function name, followed by a space, followed by a leading dash "-" and parameter name and an equal sign "=" and a value, with no spaces from the dash to the end of the parameter value. Multiple parameters are separated by spaces.
Authentication
Where an operation requires authentication, you must provide the appropriate password.
Common CMU Options
Some options are commonly available to all cmu commands. They are described below and not on the individual command pages, for conciseness.
| Argument(s) | Description |
|---|---|
|
-password=<password> -pin=<password> |
The password for the role accessing the current slot, with the current command. If this is not specified, it is prompted. |
| -slot=<slot#> | The slot to be acted upon, by the current command. If this is not specified, it is prompted. |
| -so | Specifies that you wish to perform the command as Partition Security Officer for that slot. If a role is not specified, the Crypto Officer role is used by default. |
