Douglas Mendizábal b39d08608f Add support for Security World client v13.4.4 
This patch adds support for installing the latest Security World client
software.  The installation media format for that version is a zipped
file containing an ISO.

The mechanism for installing the source media was changed to expect this
new format.  The file is still downloaded to the target host and now
unzip is used instead of tar to unarchive the ISO.

The client software is now installed on the target host using the RPM files
found in the ISO image.

Raw Blame History

thales-hsm

This is a role to manage the client software for Entrust nShield Connect Hardware Security Modules (HSMs).

This repo uses the "Thales" name for historical reasons:

At the time when this repository was created nShield HSMs were owned by Thales. Since then, the nShield line of HSMs have gone through some ownership changes, including nCipher for some time, and currently Entrust.
