Set up the master key to start using the master key in EKMF Web.
Procedure
- Open the Swagger UI. For more information, see Using Swagger UI.
- Authenticate and authorize to access IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager REST services. For more information about the
authentication process, see Authentication process for REST services.
- Go to the Master key management section.
- Run the
Set Up Master Key REST Service
to start using the master key in EKMF Web.
For example, you can send the following HTTP request:
POST https://host:port/SKLM/rest/v1/ckms/masterKey/EKMFWeb/setupMasterKey
If the master key already exists in any other repository (for example, JCEKS or HSM),
all the cryptographic objects are encrypted again with the new master key created in EKMF
Web.
Note: The encryption of all the cryptographic objects with the new master key might take time
depending on the number of cryptographic objects that are stored in the
database.
