Enabling SSL on the Key Management System (KMS) Server

will be enabled automatically on the other cluster members.
To configure and enable SSL, complete the following steps:
1. Select the Device tab.
2. In the Device Configuration menu, click KMS Server to display the Key Management Services
Configuration window.
3. In the KMS Server Settings section of the window, click Edit.
4. Configure the KMS Server Settings. Ensure that the port and connection timeout settings are
9000 and 3600, respectively. For Server Certificate, select the name of the certificate you
created in “Creating and installing the SKM server certificate” on page 457.
5. Click Save.
