Known problems with hardware cryptographic support on AIX
This topic contains troubleshooting information for known problems with the cryptographic hardware on AIX®.
You must install the bos.pkcs11 package
to get the PKCS11 module, and to initialize the device on AIX.
An added update to the bos.pkcs11 package fixed a forking problem. Obtain the most recent copy of the bos.pkcs11 package from the IBM® PSeries Support Site, to ensure you have this fix.
If you are having problems using the IBM eBusiness
Cryptographic Accelerator Device with IBM HTTP
Server, do the following:
- Reboot the machine.
- Kill pkcsslotd and the shared memory that it created. To determine the shared memory that was created, type ipcs -a. Find the segment with size 270760 to determine the memory segment that was created by pkcsslotd.
- Export EXPSHM=ON.
- Start the pkcs11 process: /etc/rc.pkcsw11
- Restart IBM HTTP Server: ./apachectl start
