The LunaSA partitions, the nCipher slots, and the NSS internal software token are provided in this
screen.
The internal software token is logged in by default. The password to this database is stored in /var/
lib/instance_ID/conf/password.conf.
If an HSM module is selected, the administrator provides the password, and password.conf is
updated with this information by default.
The status field in this panel describes the status of the token.
• Found . The token was discovered by Certificate System and added to secmod.db.
• Not-Found . The Certificate System was unable to find the supported HSMs.
• Logged In . The login attempt to the slot was successful.
• Not Logged In . The subsystem is not logged into the slot yet.
The login button corresponding to the slot brings up a login prompt for the token password.
