Supported Luna HSM Client Operating Systems

Luna HSM Client 7.2 and newer can be used with HSMs running Luna 6.2.1 or higher, or any Luna 7 version, without conflict. Luna HSM Client 7.2 and newer versions can coexist in large deployments. You can schedule client roll-outs at your convenience, without need to match versions across your organization. Future HSM features that do not have client-version dependencies will function without issue.

You can install the Luna HSM Client on the following operating systems (client version restrictions specified):

Ubuntu ** 14.04 Yes No 7.4.0 & older No No

* Although the AIX and Solaris installers display the options, SafeNet Luna PCIe and USB HSMs are not supported. Select only SafeNet Luna Network HSM during installation.

* * The Linux installer for Luna HSM Client software is compiled as .rpm packages. To install on a Debian-based distribution, such as Ubuntu, alien is used to convert the packages. We used build-essential:

apt-get install build-essential alien

If you are using a Docker container or another such microservice to install the Luna Minimal Client on Ubuntu, and your initial client installation was on another supported Linux distribution as listed above, you do not require alien. Refer to the product documentation for instructions. You might need to account for your particular system and any pre-existing dependencies for your other applications.

Remote PEDserver

The PEDserver software is included with the Luna HSM Client software. You must install the Luna HSM Client, with the PEDserver option, on each workstation used to host a remote PED. The PEDserver software is supported on Windows and Linux (see Supported Luna HSM Client Operating Systems).

Supported Cryptographic APIs

Applications can perform cryptographic operations using the following APIs:

>PKCS#11 2.20

>JCA within Oracle Java 7*/8*/9/10/11

* Luna HSM Client 10.1 and newer requires the advanced version of Oracle Java 7/8.

>JCA within OpenJDK 7/8/9/10/11

>OpenSSL

>Microsoft CAPI
