Using KMIP for external key management
The Security administrator must perform certain configurations to enable external key management using KMIP for your FileNet® P8 system. This configuration is optional and does not apply if you do not plan to use external key management in your environment.
About this task
The external key management implementation for KMIP relies on a supported Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) key management service. If it does not already exist, you configure this service in your environment as part of the preparation for your installation or upgrade. Then, you specify the server for key management as part of the domain creation wizard in the Administration Console for Content Platform Engine.
Make sure to verify whether your key is activated. If not, activate your key before you deploy.
(V5.5.2 only) External key management is available only when you create new P8 domains. The feature does not apply for existing P8 domains.
