Extract authentication key

You use the apsedkey extract command to extract the AEK defined in the keystore and save the plain text key for a specific key label to a file.

1. Log in as apuser or equivalent user.
2. Run the following command to extract an AEK into an external file:

   apsedkey extract --file <file>

   The command extracts the currently enabled key into the file specified by the –file argument. Works only once apsedkey enable has been called.

   Sample output:

   [apuser@sfm02-node0103]# apsedkey extract –file /tmp/currentkey.txt
   Extracted key to /tmp/currentkey.txt
