Note it is not supported yet. We are working on hsm integration but there are bugs still at dogtag side and in FreeIPA. Options above were from the very early experiments. They would not be exactly the same once finalized.

Right Alexander. I tried with SafeNet Luna HSM with --pki-config-override and some other tweaks but failed.
Hoping to see HSM support in 4.8 release.

@type4ranjan -- can you share your override file and output?

Please share the information on either a new gist or better as an upstream ticket on https://pagure.io/freeipa
