HSM Management using payShield Manager

payShield Manager is the only interface that you can use to manage your payShield Cloud HSMs under subscription.

Introduction

Once the provisioning of the HSM (Thales responsibility) and the cloud set-up (customer responsibility) is complete, it is time to commission and configure the provisioned HSM using payShield Manager.

Pre-requisites

The following are required before starting the commissioning procedure:

• payShield 10K management port IP address
• The operating system / browser combinations supported by payShield Manager mentioned in the table below:

Note

It is possible that other combinations will work, either completely or partially, but this should not be relied upon. Please note that payShield Manager does not support Internet Explorer, as this is no longer supported by Microsoft.

• PC/Workstation Administration rights/permissions, needed for tasks such as installing drivers and updating configuration, etc.

• payShield Manager USB attached smart card reader with PIN Pad
