Configuring EKMF Web

You can configure EKMF Web with IBM® Security Guardium® Key Lifecycle Manager to store its master key.

When you configure IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager with EKMF Web, you can use one of the two supported authentication mechanisms:

OpenID Connect (OIDC)
The OIDC authentication requires user credentials for authentication. For instructions, see Configuring EKMF Web with OIDC authentication.
Mutual Transport Layer Security (mTLS)
The mTLS authentication requires the exchange of public certificates between IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager and EKMF Web for authentication. For instructions, see Configuring EKMF Web with mTLS authentication.
