Sharing Encrypted Tapes – Import/Export Operations

Importing a Public Certificate

Quantum Encryption Key Manager User’s Guide 45

8 If you changed the default name of the public certificate file so that it

no longer includes the library serial number (the default name is

QEKMIECert<library SN>.cer), you must provide the library serial

number along with the public certificate file to the source Q-EKM

server administrator, because they need it to export their keys for

you. See Understanding How Q-EKM Uses Aliases

on page 41 for

more information.

The library serial number can be found in the

library_serialnum file

located in the

QEKM directory:

Importing a Public Certificate

The public certificate contains a public key that is used to wrap (encrypt)

encryption keys prior to transporting them to another Q-EKM server.

When sharing tape cartridges, you need to import the public certificate of

the destination Q-EKM server.

1 Receive the

public certificate file from the Q-EKM server to which you

will be sending keys, and place it in the

QEKM directory:

2 Log on to Q-EKM Commands (see Logging On to Q-EKM

Commands on page 27).

3 At the Command Prompt, enter

i (for the Import/export keys option).

The Key Import/Export menu displays (see Figure 7

on page44).

4 At the command prompt, enter

1 (for Import public certificate).

5 Enter the name of the

public certificate file.

6 Enter your Q-EKM server’s keystore password.
