Managing the Navigator Key HSM Service

Use the keyhsm service for all basic server operations:
$ sudo service keyhsm
keyHsm service usage:
    setup <hsm name> - setup a new connection to an HSM
    trust <path>     - add a trusted client certificate
    validate         - validate that keyHSM is properly configured
    settings         - display the current server configuration
    start            - start the keyHSM proxy server
    status           - show the current keyHSM server status
    shutdown         - force keyHSM server to shut down
    reload           - reload the server (without shutdown)

The reload command causes the application to restart internal services without ending the process itself. If you want to stop and start the process, use the restart command.

Logging and Audits

The Navigator Key HSM logs contain all log and audit information, and by default are stored in the /var/log/keyhsm directory.
