How do I configure the EKM CLI client for authentication based on the

In a primary and redundant EKM configuration, this needs to be configured for

each platform.

By default, the EKM CLI client is authenticated to the EKM Server as user

EKMAdmin and a default password located in the EKM documentation.

The EKM CLI clients can also be authenticated based on LocalOS registry.

NOTE:

The EKM server must be off and the EKM GUI must be closed when making

these changes to the EKM configuration file

To turn this feature on in Windows:

1 Locate the KeyManagerConfig.properties file. (C:\ekm\gui is the default

directory).

2 Open the file with the text editor of your choice.

NOTE:

3 Locate the Server.authMechanism string. If this string is not present,

add it to the file in this exact format Server.authMechanism=LocalOS.

4 Save the file.

Now your user name and password for the EKM server matches the OS user

account. Note that only users allowed to login and submit commands to the

server and have administrator privileges can manage the EKM server.

To turn this feature on in a Linux-based system:

1 Download Dell - Patch/Upgrade for the ML6000 or the Dell - Application

Version Dell EKM Services release for the TL2000/TL4000 from the

Dell Support website at support.dell.com.

2 Locate the LocalOS directory in the download.
