Verifying configuration of master key in EKMF Web

After you configured EKMF Web, verify the configuration of master key in the IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager graphical user interface.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the graphical user interface.
  2. On the Welcome page, check the Master key repository status. It must be set to Connected.
    The following example shows that the IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager instance is connected to the ekmf.ibm.com EKMF Web host and is using KLM41KE as the master key alias.
    Master key repository: EKMF Web (Connected- to priority host ekmf.ibm.com-KLM41KE)

    If the status is Disconnected, use the Test or Refresh EKMF Web Connection REST Service to diagnose the problem.

    For example, you can send the following HTTP request:
    GET SKLM/rest/v1/ckms/masterKey/EKMFWeb/testConnection

Results

EKMF Web is now configured with IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager.
