Connecting zkey with EKMF Web

After the EKMF Web administrator set up key templates and registered them for use with zkey, you can connect zkey to EKMF Web.

Before you begin

You need a Linux instance with the zkey utility installed. This instance of zkey must be able to connect to EKMF Web.

You need access to EKMF Web, that is, a user ID must be set up for you. For more details about access rights, see Access rights.

About this task

On your Linux system, use the zkey command to bind to the EKMF Web plug-in and configure it.

Procedure

Optional: Check which plug-ins are available.
Issue the zkey kms plugins command, for example:
```
# zkey kms plugins
KMS-Plugin                Shared library
---------------------------------------------------
EKMFWeb                   zkey-ekmfweb.so
```
The example shows that the EKMF Web plug-in is available. It also shows the shared library that implements the plug-in.
To bind to the EKMF Web plug-in, issue the following command:
```
# zkey kms bind EKMFWeb
```
The local secure key repository is bound to a key management system of type EKMF Web.
Note: A secure key repository can be bound to only one key management system.
