Configuring the Brocade Encryption Switch key vault setup (SafeNet KeySecure)

3

The following example creates the encryption group "brocade".

SecurityAdmin:switch> cryptocfg --create -encgroup brocade
Encryption group create status: Operation Succeeded.

The switch on which you create the encryption group becomes the designated group leader. Once
you have created an encryption group, all group-wide configurations, including key vault
configuration, adding member nodes, configuring failover policy settings, and setting up storage
devices, as well as all encryption management operations, are performed on the group leader.

3. Set the key vault type for KMIP by entering the cryptocfg

--

set

-

keyvault command.

Successful execution sets the key vault type for the entire encryption group. The following
example sets the key vault type to KMIP.

SecurityAdmin:switch> cryptocfg --set -keyvault KMIP
Set key vault status: Operation Succeeded.

4. Import the CA certificate from the download location and register KMIP as the key vault. The

group leader automatically shares this information with other group members.

SecurityAdmin:switch> cryptocfg --import -scp <CA certificate file>
<host IP> <host username> <host path>

SecurityAdmin:switch> cryptocfg --reg -keyvault <CA certificate file>
<KMIP IP>
primary

At this point, it may take about one minute to fully configure the switch with KMIP.

5. As the switches come up, enable the encryption engines.

SecurityAdmin:switch> cryptocfg --enableEE
Operation succeeded.

6. Use the cryptocfg

--

show groupcfg command to verify that the key vault state is Connected.

Mace_127:admin> cryptocg --show groupcfg
rbash: cryptocg: command not found
Mace_127:admin> cryptocfg --show -groupcfg
