Registering the ESKM/SKM Brocade group user name and password

The Brocade group user name and password you created when configuring a Brocade group on
ESKM/SKM must also be registered on each encryption node.

NOTE

This operation can be performed only after the switch is added to the encryption group.

1. Select Configure > Encryption from the menu task bar to display the Encryption Center

dialog box. (Refer to

Figure 266

on page 694.)

2. Select the Group Leader switch from the Encryption Center Devices table, then select Switch >

Key Vault Credentials from the menu task bar.

The Key Vault Credentials dialog box displays. (Refer to

Figure 278

.)

Key Vault Credentials dialog box

The dialog box contains the following information:

Primary Key Vault: Preselected. ESKM/SKM key vaults are clustered, so only one set of
credentials is needed.

Secondary Key Vault: The selection is inactive.

User Name: Enter a user name for the Group Leader.

User Group Name: Displays the selected User Group Name.

Password: Enter a password for the Group Leader.

Re-type Password: Re-enter the password for verification.

3. Enter the Brocade user name and password, then re-enter the password for verification.

4. Repeat the procedure for each node.

General rules when creating user names and passwords

When creating user names and passwords for ESKM/SKM, the following rules apply:

Initially, the user name and password are created when a Brocade user group is created on
ESKM/SKM. The switch user name and password must match the user name and password
specified for the Brocade group.

The same user name and password must be configured on all nodes in an encryption group.
This is not enforced or validated by the encryption group members, so use care when
configuring the user name and password to ensure they are the same on each node.
