Before you begin

Ensure that your role has the required permissions to modify a client.

About this task

You can associate additional symmetric and key pair objects with a client. Based on the method that the client uses for communicating with the IBM® Security Guardium® Key Lifecycle Manager server, the client configuration options change. For a client that uses KMIP for communication, you can remove or modify the associated client certificate. For a client that uses REST APIs for communication, you can add or remove users that are associated with the client.
