Prerequisites for OpenSSL Dynamic Engine with AWS CloudHSM Client SDK 3 - AWS CloudHSM

For information about platform support, see AWS CloudHSM Client SDK 3 supported platforms.

Before you can use the AWS CloudHSM dynamic engine for OpenSSL with Client SDK 3, you need the AWS CloudHSM client.

The client is a daemon that establishes end-to-end encrypted communication with the HSMs in your cluster, and the OpenSSL engine communicates locally with the client. To install and configure the AWS CloudHSM client, see Install the client (Linux). Then use the following command to start it.

Amazon Linux
$ sudo start cloudhsm-client
