Introduction

The Java programming interface exports functionality using JNI (Java Native Interface).

Observation: HSM sessions have session-thread affinity. This means that the same session cannot be used by several threads at the same time.

Installation

Use the HSM client package Dinamo in the Maven Central Repository.

Supported platforms:

Observation: As of version 4.11.0 of the HSM client, the official distribution of the HSM client Dinamo for Java is now from the Maven repository. Migration is necessary. There are no changes to the APIs, only to the distribution method.

For manual installation, use the procedure below.

Download the JNI library from the Maven Central Repository by clicking on versions and then browse. The file is named dinamo-hsm-x .y.z.jar where x.y.z is the version.
Copiar a biblioteca JNI java (dinamo-hsm-x.y.z.jar) para a pasta de extensions do Java (<JAVA_HOME>\jre\lib\ext) ou adicionar ao projeto.

For example, with JVM 1.4:
- on Windows: C:\j2sdk1.4.2_11\jre\lib\ext
- on Linux: /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_11/jre/lib/ext.

If your operating system is not natively supported, contact your HSM supplier to check availability. If so, the procedure is as follows:

Copy the platform libraries (e.g. tacndlib.dll and tacndjavalib.dll or libtacndlib.so and libtacndjavalib.so) to the system libraries folder (e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32 or /usr/lib).

The programming interfaces in different languages available for the HSM:

Information such as features, initialization, management, integration and more can be found in the HSM technical documentation.
