NetHSM

This documentation describes the NetHSM software and hardware. The NetHSM software can be either used on the NetHSM hardware, or as a software container (e.g. Docker).

The NetHSM software features a REST API to perform installation, administration and operational tasks. The recommended way to use a NetHSM is through the tool nitropy. Alternatively curl can be used to send HTTP requests to the REST API.

Hvis du har fået en ny NetHSM-hardware, skal du først se kapitlet Komme i gang. Hvis du vil gendanne en sikkerhedskopi af en NetHSM, skal du se kapitlet Gendannelse.

Vigtigt

Hvis du bruger en NetHSM-instans med et selvsigneret certifikat, f.eks. ved hjælp af Docker-containeren, skal du instruere nitropy eller curl til at ignorere certifikatets gyldighed. For nitropy skal du bruge indstillingen --no-verify-tls og for curl skal du bruge indstillingen --insecure/-k for at springe certifikatkontrollen over.

Bemærk

The examples in this documentation use the environment variable NETHSM_HOST, which contains the IP address or URL of the NetHSM. A NetHSM’s default IP address is 192.168.1.1. On a Unix shell the variable can be set with the following command.

$ export NETHSM_HOST="<URL-or-IP-address>"
