HSM Health Check
The HSM Health Check section provides critical, granular details about the Hardware Security
Module (HSM) that stores and protects the private keys. This panel is essential for maintaining
the security and availability of the core signing infrastructure.
It shows the overall status of the HSM as Active or Inactive along with various HSM configuration
fields such as HSM Model, serial number, CryptoKI / PKCS#11 Version, FIPS Mode, Partition
Initialization Status, Token Flags, and many more.
The status is checked with the HSM utilities as well as the PKCS#11 interface, and cached for up to 10 minutes. While the status is Inactive, signing fails. See Troubleshooting for what to check.
