Common Data Security Architecture (CDSA) White Paper

Common Security Services Manager (CSSM) API

and are available to applications without further operations required. They should remain on the system and not be removed.

NOTE	CDSA requires the /var ﬁle system to support long ﬁle names (greater
	than 14 characters). CSSM and the bundled add-ins will not be
	pre-installed if its /var supports only short ﬁle names. In this case,
	CSSM_ModuleInstall() will return the error code
	CSSM_NOT_LONG_FILE_NAME_SYS.
