>Java
>Uninstalling the SafeNet Luna HSM Client Software
Applicability to specific versions of Windows is summarized in the Customer Release Notes for this release.
NOTE Before installing a SafeNet Luna HSM system, confirm that the product you have received is in factory condition and has not been tampered with in transit. Refer to the Startup Guide included with your product shipment. If you have any questions about the condition of the product that you have received, contact Technical Support immediately.
Required Client Software
Each computer that connects to a SafeNet Luna Network HSM as a Client must have the cryptoki library, the vtl client shell and other utilities and supporting files installed.
Each computer that contains, or is connected to a SafeNet Luna PCIe HSM or a SafeNet Luna USB HSM must have the cryptoki library and other utilities and supporting files installed.
Prerequisites
The SafeNet Luna HSM Client installer requires the Microsoft Universal C Runtime (Universal CRT) to run properly. Universal CRT requires your Windows machine to be up to date. Before running the installer, ensure that you have the Universal C Runtime in Windows (KB2999226) update and its prerequisites installed on your machine. The following updates must be installed in order:
1.March 2014 Windows servicing stack update (See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2919442)
2.April 2014 Windows update (See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2919355)
3.Universal C Runtime update (See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2999226)
Installing the SafeNet Luna HSM Client Software
The supported Windows servers are 64-bit. Hardware drivers are 64-bit only.
For compatibility of our HSMs with Windows CAPI we have SafeNet CSP, and for the newer Windows CNG we have SafeNet KSP. See SafeNet CSP and KSP for more information.
Interactive (prompted, this page) and non-interactive
To install the SafeNet Luna HSM Client software
1.Log into Windows
as “Administrator”, or as a user with administrator privileges
2.Uninstall any previous versions of the Client software before you proceed (see Uninstalling the SafeNet Luna HSM Client Software).
NOTE If you do not uninstall previous SafeNet Luna HSM Client versions, you might face installation issues, such as failure to install the new client.
3.Download the SafeNet Luna HSM Client from the Thales Group Support Portal at https://supportportal.gemalto.com and extract the .zip to an appropriate folder.
4.In the extracted directory, locate the folder for your Windows architecture and double click LunaHSMClient.exe.
5.The Custom Setup dialog allows you to choose which software components you wish to install. Click a product to select the components to install, or click Select All to install all available components.
The installer includes the SafeNet SNMP Subagent as an option with any of the SafeNet Luna HSMs, except SafeNet Luna Network HSM, which has agent and subagent built in. After installation of the SafeNet SNMP Subagent is complete, you will need to move the SafeNet MIB files to the appropriate directory for your SNMP application, and you will need to start the SafeNet subagent and configure for use with your agent, as described in SNMP Monitoring in the Administration Guide.
NOTE Dependencies and considerations when installing:
>The FM Tools and FM SDK are useful to you only if you will be using or creating Functionality Modules, to add custom abilities to your HSMs.
>The FM SDK requires that you install PCIe HSM software and drivers.
>Similarly, if you are using third-party software to make standard cryptographic calls to the HSM, and are not creating application programs, then you can forego loading the Software Development Kit.
>There is no harm in installing unneeded components; they do not conflict.
>The FM SDK option remains gray/unselectable until "Software SDK" is selected, because some of the FM SDK samples have dependencies on General Cryptoki Samples that are part of "Software SDK".
After you select the components you want to install, click Install.
a.Agree to the terms of the License Agreement to proceed with installation. To view the agreement text, click the link in the dialog. The installer loads a PDF version if a PDF reader is available; otherwise it launches a text editor and a plain-text version of the agreement.
b.If Windows presents a security notice asking if you wish to install the device driver from SafeNet, click "Always trust software from SafeNet Canada" and click Install to accept.
c.If you choose not to install the driver(s), your SafeNet Luna HSM Client cannot function with any locally-connected SafeNet hardware (which includes SafeNet Luna PCIe HSM, SafeNet Luna USB HSM, or SafeNet Luna Backup HSMs).
6.When the installation completes, the button options are Uninstall, Modify, or Quit; click Quit to finish.
If you launch the installer again, you should see the final dialog, above, allowing you to modify the current SafeNet Luna HSM Client installation if desired, or to uninstall.
7.[Optional] For easy use of the SafeNet Luna HSM Client command-line tools, add the directory to the system PATH variable.
"C:\Program Files\SafeNet\Lunaclient"
Modifying the Installed Windows SafeNet Luna HSM Client Software
If you wish to modify the installation (perhaps to add a component or product that you did not previously install), you must re-run the current installer and ensure that the desired options are selected.
NOTE This feature has software and/or firmware dependencies. See Version Dependencies by Feature for more information.
To modify the installed SafeNet Luna HSM Client software
1.Run the LunaHSMClient.exe program again. Because the software is already installed on your computer, the following dialog is displayed (in this example, devices and features were previously installed, and the task is to uninstall a couple of items):
2.Select or deselect individual Devices or Features, as desired.
3.Click Modify. The client software is updated (items are added or removed).
If you are uninstalling some items, or if you are adding features, the dialog shows a progress bar briefly, and then shows the current status.
If you are adding a Luna Device, then you might be prompted with the operating system pop-up to accept/trust the driver. Do so.
4.Click Quit when the modification is complete.
NOTE You can also use Programs and Features in the Windows Control Panel to launch the Uninstall/Modify dialog for the client software.
Java
If you install the Luna Java Security Provider (JSP), refer to SafeNet JSP Overview and Installation for additional setup procedures for your operating system.
SafeNet CSP and KSP
Thales Group provides SafeNet CSP for applications running in older Windows crypto environments running Microsoft Certificate Services (CAPI), and SafeNet KSP for newer Windows clients running Cryptography Next Generation (CNP). Consult Microsoft documentation to determine which one is appropriate for your client operating system.
>SafeNet CSP Registration Utilities
>SafeNet KSP for CNG Registration Utilities
If the SafeNet CSP (CAPI) / SafeNet KSP(CNG) option is selected at installation time, the SafeNetKSP.dll file is installed in C:\Windows\System32 (used for 64-bit KSP).
NOTE The cryptoki.ini file, which specifies many configuration settings for your HSM and related software, includes a line that specifies the path to the appropriate libNT for use with your application(s). Verify that the path is correct.
USB-powered PED
The SafeNet Luna PIN Entry Device (PED) v2.8 contains new hardware that enables the PED to be USB-powered; there is no longer a requirement for an external DC power Adapter. PED v2.8 is functionally equivalent to your existing (previous-generation) PEDs and is compatible with HSM versions, 5.x, 6.x, and 7.x.
PED v2.8 ships with firmware 2.8.0. Note that you cannot upgrade existing PEDs to the 2.8.0 version; existing PEDs continue to need a separate DC power adapter for remote PED and upgrade use. The model number on the manufacturer's label identifies the refreshed PED: PED-06-0001. An installed driver is required; see step 1, below.
To use the new USB-powered PED
1.Ensure the SafeNet Luna HSM Client software is installed on the Windows computer that will act as the PED Server to your SafeNet Luna HSM. Installing the Remote PED component of the SafeNet Luna HSM Client installs the required driver.
NOTE A USB connection, without the driver software, only illuminates the PED screen, with no menu. An installed and running PED driver, on the connected computer, is required for the PED to fully boot and to display its menu.
2.Connect the PED to the computer where you installed the Remote PED component of the SafeNet Luna HSM Client, using the USB micro connector on the PED and a USB socket on your computer.
3.After you connect the PED to the host computer, it will take 30 to 60 seconds for initial boot-up, during which time a series of messages are displayed, as listed below:
BOOT V.1.1.0-1
CORE V.3.0.0-1
Loading PED...
Entering...
4.After the boot process is complete, the PED displays Local PED mode and the Awaiting command... prompt. Your new PED is now ready for use.
5.To enter Remote PED mode, if needed, exit Local PED mode with the "< " key, and from the Select Mode menu, select option 7 Remote PED.
Uninstalling the SafeNet Luna HSM Client Software
You need to uninstall SafeNet Luna HSM Client before installing a new version. If you wish to modify the installation (perhaps to add a component or product that you did not previously install), you must uninstall the current installation and re-install with the desired options. If you have a SafeNet Luna Backup HSM connected to the client workstation, either disconnect it or stop the PEDclient service
To uninstall the SafeNet Luna HSM Client software
1.Run the LunaHSMClient.exe program again. Because the software is already installed on your computer, the following dialog is displayed, showing which components are currently installed (for this example, all Devices and all Features were previously installed):
2.Click Uninstall. The client software is uninstalled.
3.When the uninstallation is complete, click OK to dismiss the operating system's confirmation dialog.
NOTE You can also use Programs and Features in the Windows Control Panel to uninstall the client software.
Uninstall if not present
If the SafeNet Luna HSM Client software has been uninstalled, and you launch the installer in uninstall mode, from the command line, the installer starts, looks for the installed software, fails to find it, and presents a Windows dialog to that effect.
If the SafeNet Luna HSM Client software has been uninstalled, nothing related to the client appears in Windows Control Panel, so nothing exists to launch from that avenue.
After Installation
When you have installed the software, the next task is to configure the SafeNet Luna HSM, as described in the Configuration Guide.
Open a new command-line/console window to allow the library path to be found before you run LunaCM or other utilities that require the library.
Troubleshooting
If you are not the Administrator of the computer on which SafeNet Luna HSM Client is being installed, or if the bundle of permissions in your user profile does not allow you to launch the installer with "Run as Administrator", then some services might not install properly. One option is to have the Administrator perform the installation for you.
Another approach might be possible. If you have sufficient elevated permissions, you might be able to right-click and open a Command Prompt window as Administrator.
If that option is available, then you can use the command line to move to the location of the LunaHSMClient.exe file and launch it there, which permits the needed services to load for PEDclient. See Scripted/Unattended Windows Installation/Uninstallation for instructions on how to install the client software from the command line.
