Given a Master CA with existing keys in an ncipher netHSM:

From Guide:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Certificate_System/8.0/html/Install_Guide/cloning-a-ca.html

Documentation says there need not be any extra intervention to export and import HSM keys if the new Clone resides on the same server as the Master:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Certificate_System/8.0/html/Install_Guide/exporting-keys.html

Cannot get past step 10. Leaving the p12 path and p12 password fields blank (do no import p12's) results in an end of file sax parse error.

Tried feeding the wizard a dummy p12. Get an error message "Clone is not ready". Debug log files reveals that not all require certificates have been imported.

 

Also worth noting that before running the Clone Wizard:

 

# cd /var/lib/CLONE-CA/alias
# modutil -dbdir . -list

--The netHSM module is listed

# certutil -L -d . -h <token-name>

--Lists all of MASTER-CA’s certificates/keys are available.

 

Has anyone identified a workaround for this?

 

Thanks
