Description

Component

This field allows you to select a profile to use to verify that client certificates are signed
by a CA trusted by the SKM. This option is only valid if you require clients to provide
a certificate to authenticate to the KMS Server. For more information, see

Trusted

Certificate Authority List Profiles

. As delivered, the default Trusted CA List profile

contains no CAs. You must either add CAs to the default profile or create a new
profile and populate it with at least one trusted CA before the KMS Server can authen-
ticate client certificates.

Trusted CA List Profile

This option allows you to specify the certificate field from which the username is de-
rived. The username can be derived from the UID (user ID), CN (Common Name),
SN (Surname), E (Email address), E_ND (Email without domain), or OU (Organiza-
tional Unit) field. When you select the E_ND option, the KMS Server matches against
the data to the left of the @ symbol in the E-mail address in the certificate request. For
example, if the certificate request contains the E-mail address [email protected],
then the KMS Server matches against User1.

Username Field in Cli-
ent Certificate

When this option is enabled, the KMS Server expects that the client certificate
presented by the client application has an IP address in the subjectAltName field. The
KMS Server obtains the IP address from the subjectAltName and compares that to
the source IP address of the client application; if the two IP addresses match, the KMS
Server authenticates the user. If the two IP addresses do not match, the KMS Server
closes the connection with the client.
