Configure the AWS CloudHSMCloudHsmProvider class with a file (Default configuration)

The default way to configure the AWS CloudHSM CloudHsmProvider class is with a file.

When you instantiate CloudHsmProvider using default constructor, by default it will look for configuration file in /opt/cloudhsm/etc/cloudhsm-jce.cfg path in Linux. This configuration file can be configured using the configure-jce.

An object created using the default constructor will use the default CloudHSM provider name CloudHSM. The provider name is useful to interact with JCE to let it know which provider to use for various operation. An example to use CloudHSM provider name for Cipher operation is as below:

Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/GCM/NoPadding", "CloudHSM");
