Steps for connecting to an LKM/SSKM appliance
The NetApp Lifetime Key Manager (LKM) resides on an FIPS 140-2 Level 3-compliant network
appliance. The encryption engine and LKM appliance communicate over a trusted link. A trusted
link is a secure connection established between the switch or blade and the NetApp LKM/SSKM
appliance, using a shared secret called a link key.
The following configuration steps are performed from the NetApp DataFort Management Console
(DMC) and from the Management application:
• Install and launch the NetApp DataFort Management Console. Refer to “Launching the NetApp
DataFort Management Console” on page 877.
• Establish the trusted link. Refer to “Establishing the trusted link” on page 877.
• Obtain and import the LKM/SSKM certificate. Refer to “Obtaining and importing the
LKM/SSKM certificate” on page 878.
• Export and register encryption node certificates on LKM/SSKM. Refer to “Exporting and
registering the switch KAC certificates on LKM/SSKM” on page 879.
• If required, create an LKM/SSKM cluster for high availability. Refer to “LKM/SSKM key vault
high availability deployment” on page 879.
• Understanding Data Encryption Keys (DEKs). Refer to “Data Encryption Keys” on page 880.
