Signing the encryption node KAC CSR on KMIP
The KAC certificate signing request generated when the encryption node is initialized must be
exported for each encryption node and signed by the Brocade local CA on KMIP. The signed
certificate must then be imported back into the encryption node.
1. Select Configure > Encryption from the menu task bar to display the The Encryption Center
dialog box (Refer to Figure 6 on page 14).
2. Select a switch from the Encryption Center Devices table, then select Switch > Export
Certificate, from the menu task bar.
The Export Switch Certificate dialog box displays.
3. Select Public Key Certificate Request (CSR), then click OK.
You are prompted to save the CSR, which can be saved to your SAN Management Program
client PC, or an external host of your choosing.
Alternatively, you may select a switch, then select Switch > Properties. Click the Export button
beside the Public Key Certificate Request, or copy the CSR for pasting into the Certificate
Request Copy area on the KMIP Sign Certificate Request page.
4. Launch the KMIP administration console in a web browser and log in.
