Scenario: Preparing and loading key parts
This section describes the procedure to prepare, load and transport the key parts.
The key management officers prepare the key parts for use at the target nodes and load the key parts at the target nodes.
Decide the method to transport the key parts from the point of
generation to the point of installation. Following are a few possibilities:
- Generate the key parts at a central place and transfer these on diskettes.
- Generate the key parts at a central place and transfer these on paper forms.
- Generate the key parts at the point and time of (first) installation. If the key parts are required after the installation, to reload or to share with another node, then you must decide on the method to transport the key parts.
Review the specific capabilities of the CNM utility by working with the utility. Then review the specific approach that you select and test the CCA Node Initialization utility (CNI) list that was prepared in conjunction with the access control administrator.
