Managing Open Snap Store Manager (OSSM) keys

You can create registration keys and view API keys in the Operations Center.

OSSM uses the following two keys:

Registration key: A registration key is used to register an OSSM instance with a IBM® Storage Protect Plus server.

API key: After you have used the key in IBM Storage Protect Plus, an API key replaces the initial registration key.

To register another IBM Storage Protect Plus server, you must generate a new registration key. The API key is used to identify and authenticate the IBM Storage Protect instance.
