PKI 10.5 Installing KRA with HSM
This document describes the process to install KRA subsystem with HSM. This assumes the CA subsystem has already been installed with HSM and the CA admin certificate has been exported to /root/.dogtag/pki-tomcat/ca_admin.cert.
Prepare a deployment configuration file (e.g. kra-hsm.cfg). For nFast add the following parameters:
[DEFAULT] pki_hsm_enable=True pki_hsm_libfile=/opt/nfast/toolkits/pkcs11/libcknfast.so pki_hsm_modulename=nfast pki_token_name=HSM pki_token_password=Secret.123
For Luna SA add the following parameters:
[DEFAULT] pki_hsm_enable=True pki_hsm_libfile=/usr/safenet/lunaclient/lib/libCryptoki2_64.so pki_hsm_modulename=lunasa pki_token_name=HSM pki_token_password=Secret.123
By default the server will generate a random password for the internal NSS database. If necesssary (e.g. in FIPS mode) a specific password can be specified with the following parameter:
pki_pin=Secret.123
Then specify the normal KRA configuration parameters:
[KRA] pki_admin_cert_file=/root/.dogtag/pki-tomcat/ca_admin.cert pki_admin_email=kraadmin@example.com pki_admin_name=kraadmin pki_admin_nickname=kraadmin pki_admin_password=Secret.123 pki_admin_uid=kraadmin pki_client_database_password=Secret.123 pki_client_pkcs12_password=Secret.123 pki_ds_base_dn=dc=kra,dc=example,dc=com pki_ds_database=kra pki_ds_password=Secret.123 pki_security_domain_name=EXAMPLE pki_security_domain_user=caadmin pki_security_domain_password=Secret.123
If necessary, specify unique certificate nicknames to avoid conflicts with other instances sharing the same HSM, for example:
pki_storage_nickname=%(pki_instance_name)s/storage pki_transport_nickname=%(pki_instance_name)s/transport pki_audit_signing_nickname=%(pki_instance_name)s/kra_audit_signing pki_subsystem_nickname=%(pki_instance_name)s/subsystem
Also if necessary, specify a unique nickname to avoid conflicts with SSL server certificates for other clones of the same instance sharing the same HSM, for example:
pki_sslserver_nickname=%(pki_instance_name)s/sslserver/%(pki_hostname)s
On PKI 10.6 due to the switch to NIO connector the SSL server certificate has to be created in the internal token:
pki_sslserver_token=internal
To begin the installation, execute the following command:
$ pkispawn -v -f kra-hsm.cfg -s KRA
The HSM module should be installed in the NSS database:
$ modutil -dbdir /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/alias/ -list
Listing of PKCS #11 Modules

1. NSS Internal PKCS #11 Module
slots: 2 slots attached

slot: NSS Internal Cryptographic Services

2. nfast

-----------------------------------------------------------
The certificates should be stored in HSM:
$ echo Secret.123 > password.txt
$ certutil -L -d /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/alias -h HSM -f password.txt
Certificate Nickname Trust Attributes
SSL,S/MIME,JAR/XPI

HSM:pki-tomcat/transport u,u,u
HSM:pki-tomcat/sslserver/pki.example.com u,u,u
HSM:pki-tomcat/subsystem u,u,u
HSM:pki-tomcat/kra_audit_signing u,u,Pu
The keys should be stored in HSM:
$ certutil -K -d /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/alias -h HSM -f password.txt < 0> rsa 51c5c7c69664bf3ebbe0e3ab7f32c484f76fab3c pki-tomcat/storage < 1> rsa 42b4d3c576e4193aa93975ebc0cf3b71322076af pki-tomcat/transport < 2> rsa 6aebfa19912e7d4c938487448d8595f0c2ee46ee pki-tomcat/sslserver/pki.example.com < 3> rsa 2235764e98d1b973aa1a231c09aebc8e33133641 pki-tomcat/subsystem < 4> rsa c06b9b64e89f1939d3a7137aa4fc9b0300a9db73 pki-tomcat/kra_audit_signing
Verify KRA is running with the following command:
$ pki -d ~/.dogtag/pki-tomcat/ca/alias -c Secret.123 -n caadmin kra-user-find ----------------- 2 entries matched ----------------- User ID: kraadmin Full name: kraadmin User ID: CA-pki.example.com-8443 Full name: CA-pki.example.com-8443 ---------------------------- Number of entries returned 2 ----------------------------
Verify the CS.cfg in the issuing CA has the following parameters:
ca.connector.KRA.enable=true ca.connector.KRA.host=pki.example.com ca.connector.KRA.local=false ca.connector.KRA.nickName=subsystemCert cert-pki-tomcat ca.connector.KRA.port=8443 ca.connector.KRA.timeout=30 ca.connector.KRA.transportCert=<base-64 encoded data> ca.connector.KRA.uri=/kra/agent/kra/connector
To remove KRA execute the following command:
$ pkidestroy -v -s KRA -i pki-tomcat
Note that the certificates and keys will not be deleted from HSM automatically. To remove the certificates and keys manually, create a temporary NSS database with the HSM module:
$ mkdir nssdb $ certutil -N -d nssdb -f password.txt $ modutil -dbdir nssdb -add nfast -libfile /opt/nfast/toolkits/pkcs11/libcknfast.so
If this is the last subsystem on the machine, remove the SSL server key (which will remove the corresponding certificate as well) with the following commands:
$ certutil -F -d nssdb -h HSM -f password.txt -n "HSM:pki-tomcat/sslserver/pki.example.com"
If this is the last clone of this instance, remove the other keys (which will remove the corresponding certificates as well) with the following commands:
$ certutil -F -d nssdb -h HSM -f password.txt -n "HSM:pki-tomcat/storage" $ certutil -F -d nssdb -h HSM -f password.txt -n "HSM:pki-tomcat/transport" $ certutil -F -d nssdb -h HSM -f password.txt -n "HSM:pki-tomcat/subsystem" $ certutil -F -d nssdb -h HSM -f password.txt -n "HSM:pki-tomcat/kra_audit_signing"
Each command will ask for the NSS database password then the HSM password.
Finally, remove the temporary NSS database:
$ rm -rf nssdb
