Configuring a Brocade group on ESKM/SKM
A Brocade group is configured on ESKM/SKM for all keys created by encryption switches and
blades. This needs to be done only once for each key vault.
1. Log in to the ESKM/SKM management web console using the admin password.
2. Select the Security tab.
3. Select Local Users & Groups under Users and Groups.
4. Select Add under Local Users.
5. Create a Brocade user name and password.
6. Select the User Administration Permission and Change Password Permission check boxes,
then click Save.
7. Se le ct Add under Local Groups.
8. Add a Brocade group under Group, then click Save.
9. Select the new Brocade group name, then select Properties.
Local Group Properties and a User List are displayed.
10. In the User List section, select or type the Brocade user name under Username, then click
Save.
The Brocade user name and password are now configured on ESKM/SKM.
NOTE
Fabric OS 6.2.0 uses brcduser1 as a standard user name when creating a Brocade group on
ESKM/SKM. If you downgrade to version 6.2.0, the user name is overwritten to brcduser1, and the
Brocade group user name must be changed to brcduser1.
Registering the ESKM/SKM Brocade group user name and password
The Brocade group user name and password you created when configuring a Brocade group on
ESKM/SKM must also be registered on each encryption node.
NOTE
This operation can be performed only after the switch is added to the encryption group.
1. Select Configure > Encryption from the menu task bar to display the Encryption Center
dialog box (Refer to Figure 1 on page 14).
2. Select the group leader switch from the Encryption Center Devices table, then select Switch >
Key Vault Credentials from the menu task bar.
The Key Vault Credentials dialog box displays (Figure 10).
