KMIP plug-in profiles

Edit online

Use KMIP plug-in profiles to control parameters and settings for communicating with the KMIP server.

Your KMIP server might provide profiles for the plug-in. Profiles are located in /etc/zkey/kmip/profiles on your Linux instance. You can override the location with environment variable ZKEY_KMIP_PROFILES.

KMIP plug-in profiles are text files with the naming scheme <product-name>.profile. You can provide your own profile. For more information on what a profile must contain, see the zkey-kmip man page.

zkey applies the default profile unless there is a user-specified profile, or a profile can be matched based on the server information. zkey provides profiles for the following servers:
  • IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager (IBM SKLM)
  • IBM Security Guardium Data Encryption (IBM GDE)
