Software packages on the Security World installation media

This appendix lists the contents of the component bundles and the additional software supplied on your Security World Software installation media. For information on installing the supplied software, see Installing the software.

Entrust supply the hardserver and associated software as bundles of common components that provide much of the required software for your installation. In addition to the component bundles, provide individual components for use with specific applications and features supported by certain Entrust modules.

To list installed components, use the ncversions command-line utility.

Components required for particular functionality

Some functionality requires particular component bundles or individual components to be installed.

Support for nShield Edge is shipped by default as part of the nShield Hardware Support component.

Ensure that you have installed the Hardware Support (mandatory) and Core Tools (mandatory) components.

In these part codes, n represents any integer.

If you are developing in Java, install the Java Developer and Java Support (including KeySafe) bundles; after installation, ensure that you have added the .jar files to your CLASSPATH.

You must install the hwsp component if you are using an nShield PCI card.

KeySafe

To use KeySafe, install the nShield Core Tools (ctls on Linux) and the nShield Java (javasp on Linux) components.

Microsoft CAPI CSP and Microsoft Cryptography API: Next Generation (CNG)

If you require the Microsoft CAPI CSP, you must install the nShield CSPs (CAPI, CNG) component.

If you want to use the module with PKCS #11 applications, including release 4.0 or later of Netscape Enterprise Server, Sun Java Enterprise System (JES), or Netscape Certificate Server 4, install the nShield PKCS11 library. For detailed PKCS #11 configuration options, see:

The appropriate User Guide for your module and operating system
The appropriate third-party integration guide for your application

Integration guides for third-party applications are available from https://nshieldsupport.entrust.com.

nCipherKM JCA/JCE cryptographic service provider

If you want to use the nCipherKM JCA/JCE cryptographic service provider, you must install:

The nShield Java bundle

An additional JCE provider nCipherRSAPrivateEncrypt is supplied that is required for RSA encryption with a private key. To install and use this provider, ensure that the nCipherKM.jar is in your CLASSPATH or MODULEPATH. You will also need to add the following classname to the top of the list of providers in your java.security file com.ncipher.fixup.provider.nCipherRSAPrivateEncrypt

See the User Guide for your module and operating system for more about configuring the nCipherKMJCA/JCE cryptographic service provider.

SNMP monitoring agent

If you want to use the SNMP monitoring agent to monitor your modules, install the nShield SNMP component (ncsnmp on Linux).

During the first installation process of the SNMP agent, the agent displays the following message:

If this is a first time install, the {product_family} SNMP Agent will not run by default.
Please see the manual for further instructions.

See the User Guide for your module and operating system for more about how to activate the SNMP agent after installation.
