Creating Access Manager configuration files with the DataPower utility

How to create the files for an Access Manager client. This action registers an Access Manager client configuration.

About this task

A client configuration consists of a unique identity in the secure Access Manager domain. The registration process creates client configuration files, a key database file, and a stash file. After these files are created, you can use these files to configure an Access Manager client.

Attention: Use these files for only one client to ensure that each client has its own unique identity for registration in the secure Access Manager domain. This approach avoids discrepancies when the key database password and stash files are refreshed.
