Planning Your Q-EKM Environment

System Requirements

Quantum Encryption Key Manager User’s Guide 10

• The Q-EKM server must have IP connectivity through any firewalls

to all Quantum libraries using the Q-EKM server to obtain data

encryption keys. The Q-EKM firmware uses TCP port 3801 for the

Q-EKM server and TCP port 443 for SSL, by default.

• Domain Name System (DNS) must be configured on all Q-EKM

servers in order for the servers to communicate successfully.

• The Q-EKM server should be protected and backed up following

your data protection practices so that critical keystore data can be

quickly restored in the event of a server failure.

• It is strongly recommended that the server(s) you designate for

Q-EKM not be running any other programs or have any other files on

them, especially .jre or java. If they do, you may have problems with

installation.

• On Windows machines, Q-EKM must be installed on the “C” drive

only. Make sure your server has a working “C” drive.
