Method 1: Set up Encryption Key Manager Using the GUI

This procedure creates a basic configuration. At successful completion the Encryption Key Manager

server is started.

1. If the GUI is not started, open it as follows:

On Windows

Navigate to c:\ekm\gui and click LaunchEKMGui.bat

On Linux platforms

Navigate to /var/ekm/gui and enter . ./LaunchEKMGui.sh

Note: Specify . ./ (period space period forward slash) before the Linux shell command to ensure

that the shell will be able to find the script.

2. On the EKM Server Configuration page (Figure 1) enter the data in all required fields (indicated by an

asterisk *). Click on the question mark to the right of any data field for a description. Click Next to go

to the EKM Server Certificate Configuration page.

Notes:

a. The Encryption Key Manager server should be refreshed using the GUI after drives are added

through auto discovery to ensure that they are stored in the drive table.

b. Once you have set the keystore password, do not change it unless it's security has been breached.

The passwords are obfuscated to eliminate any security exposure. Changing the keystore password

requires that the password on every key in that keystore be changed individually using the

keytool command. See "Changing Keystore Passwords" in the Dell Encryption Key Manager User's

Guide.
