Troubleshooting

This page summarises some common problems when getting started with CloudHSM, and ways to solve them.

Make sure that you have read and followed the setup instructions, including the detailed instructions of the API provider you are using.

CloudHSM Connectivity Issues

• Check the Status Page to see if CloudHSM is experiencing any issues.
• Ensure your network layer and firewall settings allow traffic on required the endpoints, protocols, and ports (see the CloudHSM Connectivity Details).
• Verify your API Provider is configured with correct connectivity parameters.
• Use ping <service-url> and telnet <service-url> <service-api-provider-port> to check network layer connectivity. If ping or telnet fails, consult your network administrator about firewall issues.
• Ensure your source IP has not changed and matches the IP allowlisting.

Renewing Credentials

If credentials (such as the setup password) are expired, or you require new credentials (for example, to set up an additional machine), open a ticket on the Securosys Support Portal and request new credentials. This may incur a cost.
