2.2 HSM Test Utility

A utility is provided with MyID to help confirm configuration with Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). This tool mimics the PKCS#11 transactions used by MyID and will exercise all functions of the HSM that MyID requires. You can use this utility to test cryptographic performance on the system; for example, to determine the optimum number of threads (concurrent operations) to achieve the best scalability for a given HSM.

You can find this utility in the \Support Tools\HSM Integration\ folder on the MyID product media.

To set the number of HSM concurrent sessions, see the HSM concurrency section in the Installation and Configuration Guide. This section also contains information on how to configure the number of retries for failed operations.
