Problem with "Integrating with SoftHSMv2" manual

[ldc77shirt]

I installed SoftHSMv2 in UBUNTU 24.04LTS as it is writen in the manual with the commands.

apt install -y softhsm2
softhsm2-util --init-token --label Cascade --pin 1234 --so-pin 1234 --free

After this, i was trying to start the kmip2pkcs11 service with the command writen in the manual

sed -i -e 's|^lib_path = .+|lib_path = "/usr/lib/softhsm/libsofthsm2.so"|' /etc/kmip2pkcs11/config.toml
chown -R kmip2pkcs11: /var/lib/softhsm
systemctl start kmip2pkcs11

But the service didn't start.

kmip2pkcs11 needs permission read-write for the configuration file of softhsm2, so i added the command "chown -R kmip2pkcs11:softhsm /etc/softshm"

sed -i -e 's|^lib_path = .+|lib_path = "/usr/lib/softhsm/libsofthsm2.so"|' /etc/kmip2pkcs11/config.toml
chown -R kmip2pkcs11:softhsm /etc/softhsm
chown -R kmip2pkcs11: /var/lib/softhsm
systemctl start kmip2pkcs11

Then the service was started.

Let me known if it's correct.

Usually, config files being read-only is fine. I can only assume, but did you have a path configured to be in /etc/softhsm/ that is written to? What did the service report when it failed to start (the relevant output of the failed start from journalctl -u kmip2pkcs11)?
