Case Iv: Hsm To Hsm Migration - Red Hat CERTIFICATE SYSTEM 7.2 - MIGRATION GUIDE Manual

cd /var/lib/instance_ID/conf/
vi CS.cfg
13. Edit the ocsp.signing.certnickname attribute to reflect the new subsystem information.
ocsp.signing.certnickname=ocspSigningCert cert-old_OCSP_instance
NOTE
The caSigningCert is not referenced in the CS.cfg file.
14. In the same directory, edit the serverCertNick.conf file to contain the old certificate nickname. For example:
vi serverCertNick.conf
Server-Cert cert-old_OCSP_instance

6.3.4. Case IV: HSM to HSM Migration

1. Extract the public/private key pairs from the HSM. The format for the extracted key pairs should be portable, such as
a PKCS #12 file.
The pk12util tool provided by the Certificate System cannot extract public/private key pairs from an HSM be-
cause of requirements in the FIPS 140-1 standard which protect the private key portion of an entry. To extract this in-
formation, contact the HSM vendor for more information. The extracted keys should not have any dependencies, such
as nickname prefixes, on the HSM.
2. Copy the extracted public/private key pairs from the old server to the new server.
cp old_server_root/alias/ServerCert.p12
/var/lib/instance_ID/alias/ServerCert.p12
cp old_server_root/alias/ocspSigningCert.p12
/var/lib/instance_ID/alias/ocspSigningCert.p12
3. Extract the public key of the old_HSM_slot_name:caSigningCert cert-old_OCSP_instance from the old se-
curity databases and save the base-64 encoded output to a file called caSigningCert.b64.
a. Open the old Certificate System alias/ directory.
cd old_server_root/alias
b. Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to search the Certificate System libraries.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=old_server_root/bin/cert/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
c. Use the old Certificate System certutil tool to identify the old HSM slot name.
old_server_root/bin/cert/tools/certutil -U -d .
d. Use the old Certificate System certutil tool to extract the public key from the security databases and save
the base-64 output to a file.
