LFS 272 - Using an HSM

@alejoacosta said:
Hi!
I am trying to setup the HSM config as per described in the following official guideline (https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/release-1.4/hsm.html) .
I have made new binaries as indicated:

make docker GO_TAGS=pkcs11

But when I tried to run the docker-ca-server init, I keept getting the error below:

    /etc/hyperledger # fabric-ca-server init -b titoadm:titopw

Any suggestions about how to fix this?
Is there any other workaround?
THere is almost no information in google.

Hi.

I recompiled the fabric_ca_server and clients binaries with GO_TAGS=pkcs11. Starting fabric ca server directly inside my host worked but not using the docker images.

But updating docker images with make docker GO_TAGS=pkcs11 didin´t work.

@davidfdr, Hello, let's see if we can get to the bottom of this. This forum is specifically for the exercises in the Labs contained in the course. I see you are following the Documentation is based on Fabric 1.4, a suggestion would be to re-configure as some of the dependencies (docker) might have changed. Also, the current version of is Fabric 2.2. Hope this helps. Bobbi

Yes. Fabric version is 2.2. BUT Fabric CA is 1.4.9 version. I put the wrong link. sorry.
