KSP (for CNG) Configuration

The registration tool KspConfig.exe, installed by the 64-bit Client software installer into the C:\Program Files\SafeNet\Protect Toolkit 5\KSP directory, registers HSM Partitions for use with CNG. It secures the Password for each HSM Partition such that only the user for which the Password was secured is able to un-secure it.

1.Go to C:\Program Files\SafeNet\Protect Toolkit 5\KSP and launch KspConfig.exe (the KSP configuration wizard).

2.In the left-hand pane (tree view) double-click "Register Or View Security Library"

3.In the right-hand pane, browse to the library C:\Program Files\SafeNet\Protect Toolkit 5\Protect Toolkit C SDK\bin\hsm\cryptoki.dll and click Register.

4.Return to the left-hand pane and double-click “Register HSM Slots” and click Next.

5.In the Slot Password field, type in the password for the indicated slot.

To the right of the window, click the “Register Slot” button.

6.Return to the Domain pull-down list and select "NT AUTHORITY," supply the password for the slot being registered, and again click “Register Slot” to complete the KSP configuration.

Once you have the slots registered, you can begin connecting with your client application to perform crypto operations in your HSM.
