Use the REST interface to test the connection between EKMF Web and IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager.
Procedure
- Open the Swagger UI. For more information, see Using Swagger UI.
- Authenticate and authorize to access the REST services. For more information, see Authentication process for REST services.
- Go to the Master key management section.
- Run the
Test or Refresh EKMF Web Connection REST Service
to verify whether EKMF Web is configured.
This REST service validates the connection with each of the configured EKMF Web hosts.
GET SKLM/rest/v1/ckms/masterKey/EKMFWeb/testConnection
Note: If you configured
EKMF Web Crypto host, in the REST
response body, the
KEY_API_HEALTH
response property correctly returns
Fail
. It shows as
Fail
because
EKMF Web Crypto hosts do not support KEY API, and handle only
the cryptographic operations. Also, the
CRYPTO_API_HEALTH
attribute returns
Fail
until the
Set Up Master Key in EKMF Web REST Service
is called.
What to do next
