Configuring a remote PKCS #11 service with openCryptoki

A user scenario shows how to set up a Soft token on a server for use from an application on a remote client.

The user scenario presented in this topic describes how you can set up a remote token on an IBM z15® system with an installed Ubuntu 21.04 Linux® environment. This token is accessed and exploited from an application running on an x86 client with an installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.9 environment. The Ubuntu 21.04 setup is selected, because at the time of writing, this distribution shipped all required packages and package versions. An analogous setup is possible with subsequent distributions.
