Steps for connecting to a KMIP-compliant SafeNet KeySecure
With the introduction of Fabric OS 7.1.0, the Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP)
KeySecure Management Console can be used on the switch. Any KMIP-compliant server can be
reregistered as a KMIP key vault on the switch after setting the key vault type to KMIP.
Currently, KMIP with SafeNet KeySecure 6.1 in native KMIP mode with the Brocade Encryption
Switch in KMIP mode is supported. All nodes in an encryption group should be running Fabric OS
7.1.0 and later for the key vault type to be set to KMIP.
After installing the SafeNet KeySecure appliance (also referred to as the KeySecure), you must
complete the following steps before the switch can be configured with the KeySecure. These steps
must be performed only once, in preparation for first-time configuration.
NOTE
If you are configuring two KeySecure nodes, you must complete step 1 through step 6 on the primary
node, then complete step 7 on the secondary node. If only a single node is being configured, step 7
is not needed.
The following suggested order of steps must be completed to create a secure connection to the
SafeNet KeySecure.
1. Set FIPS compliance. (Refer to “Setting FIPS compliance” on page 744.)
2. Create a local CA. (Refer to “Creating a local CA” on page 745.)
3. Create a server certificate. (Refer to “Creating a server certificate” on page 746.)
4. Create a cluster. (Refer to “Creating a cluster” on page 751.)
5. Create a Brocade group on the KeySecure appliance. (Refer to “Configuring a Brocade group
on the KeySecure” on page 752.)
6. Register the user name and password. (Refer to “Registering the KeySecure Brocade group
user name and password” on page 753.)
7. Export and sign the encryption node certificate signing requests. (Refer to “Signing the
encryption node KAC CSR on KMIP” on page 754.)
8. Import the signed certificates into the encryption node. (Refer to “Importing a signed KAC
certificate into a switch” on page 756.)
9. Back up the certificates (Refer to “Backing up the certificates” on page 757.)
10. Configure the KMIP server. (Refer to “Configuring the KMIP server” on page 759.)
11. Add a secondary node to the cluster. (Refer to “Adding a node to the cluster” on page 760.)
