Enrolling libraries with the SKM or ESKM
Each of the ETLA libraries that you want to use to encrypt data must be enrolled with the SKM or
ESKM. You perform this enrollment as part of the installation of the SKM or ESKM. To install the
SKM or ESKM, see the installation and replacement guide that shipped with your SKM or ESKM.
Selecting the SKM or ESKM as the key manager
You will have selected the SKM or ESKM as your key manager as part of the SKM or ESKM
installation. However, you might need to perform this procedure again if you changed the key
manager to be your backup application and you now want to change it back. To select a key
manager, use the Key Management Setup Wizard. This wizard establishes communication between
the library and the SKM or ESKM by setting up the certificate authority and certificates on the
library, entering the user name and password that the library uses to log on to the SKM or ESKM,
and entering the IP addresses of the SKM or ESKM appliances. The wizard will verify the connectivity
to the SKMs or ESKMs when all the data has been provided.
NOTE:
You perform some of the steps in this procedure with the SKM or ESKM Management
Console software. Make sure you have access to it before beginning.
