Steps for connecting to a DPM appliance

2

Uploading the CA certificate onto the DPM appliance (and first-time
configurations)

After an encryption group is created, you need to install the signing authority certificate (CA
certificate) onto the DPM appliance.

1. Open a web browser and connect to the DPM appliance setup page. You will need the URL and

have the proper authority level, user name, and password.

2. Select the Operations tab.

3. Select Certificate Upload.

4. In the SSLCAcertificateFile field, enter the full local path of the CA certificate. Do not use the

UNC naming convention format.

5. Select Upload, Configure SSL, and Restart Webserver.

6. After the web server restarts, enter the root password.

7. Open another web browser window, and start the RSA management user interface.

You will need the URL, and have the proper authority level, user name, and password.

NOTE

The Identity Group name used in the next step might not exist in a freshly installed DPM. To
establish an Identity Group name, click the Identity Group tab, and create a name. The name
Hardware Retail Group is used as an example in the following steps.

8. Select the Key Classes tab. The key classes must be created only once, regardless of the

number of nodes in your encryption group or the number of encryption groups that will be
sharing this DPM.
