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.

The root certificate is not included in the client package.Download the Luna Cloud HSM Certificate and copy it to your client directory to execute cmu verifyhsm.

Refer also to Verifying the HSM's Authenticity.

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