AWS CloudHSM Management Utility (CMU)

The cloudhsm_mgmt_util command line tool helps crypto officers manage users in the hardware security modules (HSMs) in AWS CloudHSM clusters. The AWS CloudHSM Management Utility (CMU) includes tools that create, delete, and list users, and change user passwords.

The CMU and Key Management Utility (KMU) are part of the Client SDK 3 suite. Client SDK 3 and its related command line tools (Key Management Utility and CloudHSM Management Utility) are only available in the HSM type hsm1.medium.

cloudhsm_mgmt_util also includes commands that allow crypto users (CUs) to share keys and get and set key attributes. These commands complement the key management commands in the primary key management tool, key_mgmt_util.
