Hi guys,
I was following this
Guide for setting up Oracle TDE to be working with a HSM (Hardware Security Module).
Issue is that I am quite convinced that the libraries is not being linked and used.
I in fact I have no log evidence that the PKCS11 libraries are called. Logs are silent on that.
The linked guide says the vendor library must be put under the folder %SYSTEM_DRIVE%\oracle\extapi\[32,64]\hsm\{VENDOR}\{VERSION}\libapiname.ext
This path did not exist in the first place, I manually created the folder structure C:\oracle\extapi\32\hsm\{VENDOR}\{VERSION}\libapiname.ext, but still it looks quite strange that Oracle looks under the System Drive folder when all Oracle related stuff is elsewhere (C:\app\Administrator and under).
So I am convinced this guide is not appropriate.
Also, it looks strange there is not config file to tell Oracle where to look for those APIs.
Anyone has any clue?
Thanks in advance.
