Creating a Certificate

In order for SafeNet ProtectToolkit-M and the HSM to be used for SSL processing, a certificate needs to be set up that specifies the details of the SafeNet ProtectToolkit-M machine.

There are multiple methods of creating a certificate for the machine:

•Using IIS

•Creating a Certificate Using the Microsoft CA server

•Using the createcert utility. Note that self-signed certificates created by the utility are only of use for testing purposes.
