Securosys HSM Connectivity Details

This section provides the connection parameters (hostname, ports, ...) for connecting to Securosys Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). The values depend on where your HSM is deployed:

• CloudHSM and TSB/REST API in the cloud
• On-premise Primus HSMs
• Developer Program HSMs

API Providers

For an explanation of each Primus API Provider—including setup and configuration— please refer to our dedicated API Providers documentation.

Best Practices

• Production deployments usually have a cluster of HSMs. Always include all HSMs in your API provider configuration. This allows the provider to automatically fail over to another HSM in the cluster. The provider does not auto-discover HSMs. Therefore, it cannot fail over if you only configure a single HSM.

Support

1. Review the details given here and double-check your settings.
2. For CloudHSM: double-check the connectivity details that you received as part of your welcome email.
