Hi Johnny,

concerning the long time taken by the OpenCA::Token::nCipher module
for private key operations I will create a fix and test it in my
environment after July 11th.

For the time being to improve the speed of certificate and CRL issuance
you can try the following:

In the nCipher.pm file locate the login() method and add a
'return 1;' line before the actual check is called. Your method
should now look like this:

sub login {
    my $self = shift;
    return 1;

    # check if key is online
    if ($self->online() and $self->keyOnline()) {
        $self->{ONLINE} = 1;
        return 1;
    }
    return undef;
}

This will disable the HSM infrastructure and key online checks and
should result in a very low latency when performing private key
operations. However, if the key is not usable, you will get an
error, of course.

Martin
