* 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.

Applications can perform cryptographic operations using the following APIs:
>PKCS#11 2.20
>Java 7/8/9
>OpenSSL
>Microsoft CAPI
>Microsoft CNG
Advisory Notes
This section highlights important issues you should be aware of before deploying Luna HSM Client 7.3.0.
Older Clients Can Fail to Complete One-Step NTLS with Newer Appliance Software
Resolved Issue LUNA-7585: Java DERIVE and EXTRACT flag settings for keys injected into the HSM
Formerly, the DERIVE and EXTRACT flags were forced to "true" in the JNI, which overrode any values passed by applications via Java. This was resolved in Luna HSM Client 7.3.0.
As of Luna HSM Client 7.3.0:
>The default values for the DERIVE and EXTRACT flags are set to "false" (were set to “true” in previous releases).
>JNI accepts and preserves values set by applications via the following Java calls:
LunaSlotManager.getInstance().setSecretKeysDerivable( true );
LunaSlotManager.getInstance().setPrivateKeysDerivable( true );
LunaSlotManager.getInstance().setSecretKeysExtractable( true );
LunaSlotManager.getInstance().setPrivateKeysExtractable( true );
NOTE If you have existing code that relies on the DERIVE and EXTRACT flags being automatically defined by the JNI for new keys, you will need to modify your application code to set the flag values correctly.
In cases where a derived key must be extractable, add the following line to the java.security file:
com.safenetinc.luna.provider.createExtractablePrivateKeys=true
