After understanding EJBCA and nCipher HSM, i was able to manage the
issues and the CA is up and running. But we had some problems dealing
with quorums.

Was someone able to use quorum with more than 1 person to import keys?
It might be a bug in EJBCA or HSM software.

Thanks

Mary Christmas and Happy New year.
