Windows Installation v3.2.0

Process

Note

During this installation process, the reseed service is started automatically so that reseeding begins immediately. To facilitate this, it is recommended that the supplied/required configuration file is placed at C:\Program Files\QOHsmReseedService\bin\reseed_service_config.yml beforehand.

The Quantum Origin HSM Reseed Service is installed on Windows through the provided executable. The below screenshots will guide you through the process.

When installed, it does the following:

1. Installs a binary, C:\Program Files\QOHsmReseedService\bin\qo_hsm_reseed_service_win_svc.exe which performs the reseeding.

2. Installs a binary, C:\Program Files\QOHsmReseedService\bin\qo_hsm_cli.exe which is used to manage the service.

3. Creates a sample configuration file at: C:\Program Files\QOHsmReseedService\bin\reseed_service_config.yml which should be edited to fit your needs.

4. Creates a Windows service called QoHsmReseed, which will run Quantum Origin using the same path as the above sample configuration file at C:\Program Files\QOHsmReseedService\bin\reseed_service_config.yml. This file is required for the operation of Quantum Origin.

This service will be enabled by default if the config file is properly configured.

You can test that installation worked correctly using the version command of the provided cli tool:

PS C:\> & "C:\Program Files\qo-hsm-reseed-service\bin\qo_hsm_cli.exe" version

Inspect the version number, if that matches the intended version, installation was successful.

Uninstallation

The service may be uninstalled by using the C:\Program Files\QOHsmReseedService\Uninstall.exe command or uninstalled from the Windows Control Panel. Note that the configuration files will not be automatically removed. These may be removed manually if desired.
