<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal">In a previous version of OpenDNSSEC (1.4.8.2), two separate machines running ods-enforcerd while using the same HSM (either AEP Keyper or SoftHSM) would select keys in the same order. This occurred after the initial ‘ods-ksmutil setup’
(and start of ods-enforcerd), as well as during a key rotation. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Because of this, I made the assumption that so long as the ‘ods-hsmutil list’ output on two machines were identical, the logic inside ods-enforcerd would make them select initial and subsequent keys using the same decision-making, thus
always ending up with the same result.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now I’m testing OpenDNSSEC-1.4.14 (and preparing to test OpenDNSSEC-2), and I’ve noticed that the behaviour of OpenDNSSEC-1.4.14 seems different.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Two machines with access to the same HSM’s, upon initial ods-enforcerd start, are selecting different initial keys.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Running ‘ods-ksmutil setup’ to blow away the database, then restarting ods-enforcerd, also has it selecting different initial keys. (Both different keys from each other, but also different keys from the initial setup altogether.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Has something drastically changed here? Or did I do something different this time in setting up this test environment that could be causing this?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
