Issue
When INSTALL script is run (to install RSA Certificate Manager 6.9), the following output is generated on the console:
[usera@hostname RSA_CM]$ ./INSTALL
Please indicate whether this is a new installation or an upgrade
of an existing installation.
1. New Install
2. Upgrade
Please enter your choice (1 or 2): 1
If nCipher is installed, it is automatically detected.
If you have additional cryptographic providers installed on your system,
you can select one for use with RSA Certificate Manager. Search now?
(NOTE: Skipping this step means that 3rd party
cryptographic providers will not be used.)
1. Yes, do the configuration
2. No, skip the configuration
Please enter your choice (1, 2, or `<' to go back): 1
For the PKCS#11 provider library, would you like to
1. search default directory trees
(/lib /usr/lib /usr/local/lib)
and optionally any other specified directories?
2. skip the search and continue with the installation?
Please enter your choice (1, 2 or `<' to go back): 1
Enter the names of any additional directories to search
(separated by spaces or tabs), `<' to go back to the previous
menu, or just press enter for none. You may use `.' to indicate
the current working directory:
>> /usr/lunasa/lib
Enter the name of the provider library:

Resolution
A request for enhancement CERTMGR-4202 has been submitted to port RSA Certificate Manager product to native 64-bit binaries and to support 3rd party 64-bit software/libraries such as SafeNet Client/PKCS#11. As of writing this solution, no timeline is available when RCM product will be ported to native 64-bit version.
