Creating KMIP User

Perform the following steps to create a local KMIP user in the ESKM. 

A client license is required for each user created on the ESKM server. See the ESKM Installation and Replacement Guide for information about how to request and install the license pack. 

  1. Log in to the Management Console, and navigate to Security > Local Users & Groups > Local Users.

  2. At the bottom of the list, click Add

  3. Create a “username” and “password” for the KMIP user. 

The “Username” must match the “Common Name (CN)” provided during the client certificate creation. 

  1. Click the Enable KMIP option.  

  2. If required, from the drop-down lists, select the KMIP User Group and KMIP Object group to which the user belongs.  

  3. Paste the signed client certificate into the KMIP Client Certificate field.
