package update

Update an existing secure package on the SafeNet appliance. All packages from Thales are signed and encrypted and come with an authcode that must be provided to decrypt and use the package. Use this command to update packages that can be seen when using the package listfile command. You can verify a package with the package verify command.

CAUTION!   Use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to power your HSM. There is a small chance that a power failure during an update could leave your HSM in an unrecoverable condition.

If a version of this package is already installed, an error occurs:

Command failed: RPM update for original filename (fwupdateK7_RealCert-7.0.2-RC2.i386.rpm)

NOTE   You must log into the HSM before you run this command.

User Privileges

Users with the following privileges can perform this command:

Syntax

package update <filename> -authcode <authcode> [-des3 | -useevp] [-force]

Argument(s) Shortcut Description
<filename>   The name of the update package file.
-authcode <authcode> -a Specifies the secure package authorization code provided by SafeNet with the secure package - the authorization code is checked during package installation to ensure that the package was encrypted and signed by Thales.
-des3 -d Use DES3 Cipher for backward compatibility with older secure package updates (cannot be used simultaneously with -useevp).
-force -f Force the action - useful when scripting; this option causes the command to proceed without confirmation.
-useevp -u Use the OpenSSL EVP (Digital EnVeloPe library) API to decrypt and validate the update package in appliance software without need for HSM SO login. If this option is not specified, the default action is to refer update verification to the HSM (cannot be used simultaneously with -des3).
