In PCIe mode, an access provider package and associated HSM are installed in the same machine:
1.Install the SafeNet adapter card in the client machine.
Please consult the relevant installation manual, such as the SafeNet ProtectServer PCIe HSM Installation Guide.
2.Install the necessary third-party software.
Install the Java runtime, .NET (Windows only) and MSCV (Windows only) software. See System Requirements.
3.Install the SafeNet PCIe HSM Access Provider software package.
The SafeNet PCIe HSM Access Provider software package (file name: PTKpcihsm2) contains the device driver for a compatible, locally-installed SafeNet cryptographic services adapter such as the ProtectServer.
For more information on installing and configuring the access provider, consult the relevant chapter for your system:
–Windows Installation for PCIe Mode
–Linux Installation for PCIe Mode
4.Make any necessary configuration changes to the access provider.
Configuration changes can be made on a temporary, user, or system level. See Configuration Items for details. For a list of configurable items, see PCI Mode Client Configuration Items.
5.Install the SafeNet high-level cryptographic API and confirm correct operation of the hardware.
Refer to the relevant installation guide provided with the API:
–SafeNet ProtectToolkit-C Administration Guide
–SafeNet ProtectToolkit-J Installation Guide
–SafeNet ProtectToolkit-M User Guide
6.Configure the API as necessary.
This may include establishing a trusted channel, called the Secure Message System. See the relevant installation/administration guide for details.
