Connecting Applications

The Primus PKCS#11 Provider should now be installed and configured, and ready to be used by your applications. Therefore, proceed to install and configure your application.

See the Solutions Explorer for a list of PKCS#11-compatible applications. Their integration guides contain application-specific instructions.

If you run into problems, follow the troubleshooting steps.

Common settings

Any PKCS#11-compatible application will ask you to provide values for the following settings. These tell the application where it can find the PKCS#11 module/library, which token/slot it should use (since there may be multiple ones), and how to authenticate (using the PIN/Password). The exact values may differ from the example if you have installed or configured the Primus PKCS#11 Provider differently.
