# SoftHSMv2 dual versions

# Works with CentOS 7

# The opensc package needs to be installed.

############################################################################
#
# Install a software HSM module for doing the PKCS11 testing of libcoap.
# Real hardware can be used if you have the appropriate library module.
#
# It is assumed that the opensc package is installed.
#
# When installing SoftHSMv2 from your system's package manager, check that the
# OpenSSL version is at least 1.1.0.  If not, then you will need to dual
# install SoftHSMv2 as below; otherwise you can use the existing SoftHSMv2.
#
# SoftHSMv2 is built using OpenSSL, but GnuTLS can use the PKCS11 interface.
# Note that if the default OpenSSL version is less than 1.1.0, you will need
# to install a dual stack version of OpenSSL as per HOWTO.dual.openssl.
#
# Creates module /usr/local/lib/softhsm/libsofthsm2.so

# Add line below to /etc/security/limits.conf to support memory locking

*               -        memlock         unlimited
