Record Partition Client Password (TP)

The PED now generates and displays the Client Password (login secret), by which Clients will later authenticate themselves to this HSM Partition.




You must record the Login Secret Value from the PED screen – write it down legibly – because it will never be shown again. This is the HSM Partition password, used to authenticate Client applications that wish to use the HSM Partition on the Luna SA. It might be best to use a text editor, because the majority of errors tend to occur when reading hand-written values. The password is case-sensitive.

 

The PED times out after eight minutes. You must complete recording the password and press the ENTER button before time-out occurs.

 

When you press [ENTER] on the PED keypad, control returns to lunash, where a success message is displayed:

'partition create' successful

At the same time, Luna PED goes back to "Awaiting command...".

Next you may need to adjust the Partition Policy settings for the new Partition. (Optional "Partition Policies" )

Otherwise, "Prepare the Client for Network Trust Link".
