cmu verifyhsm

This command allows you to verify that the client is connected to a genuine Luna HSM, by creating and verifying a confirmation on a temporary key created in the HSM. It also includes a proof of possession that asks the HSM to sign a user-entered string as proof the associated private key is present within the target HSM.

NOTE   This confirmation procedure is currently not supported on FM-enabled HSMs. Refer to FM Deployment Constraints for details.
