Export the CA Certificate to a PEM File

Before you can configure the DXserver to work with the HSM, you must export the root CA and DSA certificates to PEM files.

Note: Only the certificates will be exported, not the private keys. The private keys will remain in the HSM.

To export the CA certificate

  1. Change to the ssld directory
  2. Export the certificate, using the following command:
    ctcert x -frootCA.pem -s2 -lrootCA
    

    where:

    -lcertificate-lable

    Specifies the label of the certificate stored in the HSM slot

    -ffilename

    Specifies the file name of the exported certificate
