NOTE This version of Luna HSM Client is compatible with Luna HSMs with firmware 6.2.1 and newer. Features that do not have client version dependencies will function without issue.
New Features and Enhancements
Luna HSM Client 7.2.0 includes the following new features and enhancements:
Enhanced Version Compatibility
Version 7.2 and newer Luna HSM Client can be used with HSMs running Luna 6.2.1 or higher, or any Luna 7 version, without conflict. Luna HSM Client 7.2 and newer versions can coexist in large deployments. You can schedule client roll-outs at your convenience, without need to match versions across your organization. Future HSM features that do not have client-version dependencies will function without issue.
Improved Client Installer with User-Defined Install Paths (Windows)
Luna HSM Client can be installed at user-selected locations (file paths with sufficient space), and installed Client software can be modified without uninstalling and reinstalling.
User-Defined Client Install Paths (Linux)
Linux root-level users can install the Luna HSM Client software to an installation directory of their choice.
Auto-Enabled HA Logging
Luna HSM Client now automatically enables HA logging, either when you create the first HA group, or when you update the Luna HSM Client to 7.2.0 and it detects a previously-configured HA group. If you manually turn HA logging off, logging is not auto-enabled for new HA groups.
Supported Operating Systems
You can install the Luna HSM Client 7.2.0 on the following operating systems:
| Operating System | Version | 64-bit applications on 64-bit OS | 32-bit applications on 64-bit OS | 32-bit applications on 32-bit OS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Windows | 10 | Yes | Yes | No |
| Windows Server | 2016 | Yes | Yes | No |
| 2012 R2 | Yes | Yes | No | |
| Redhat-based Linux (including variants like CentOS) | 7 | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| 6 | Yes | Yes | Yes | |
| Ubuntu * | 14.04 | Yes | No | Yes |
* 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.
Supported Cryptographic APIs
Applications can perform cryptographic operations using the following APIs:
>PKCS#11 2.20
>Java 7/8/9
>OpenSSL
>Microsoft CAPI
>Microsoft CNG
