User and group procedures
NOTE:
User accounts and groups can be managed locally on the SKM and shared among clustered nodes.
This is the preferred method, as this maintains the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)
compliance for the nodes. User accounts and groups can also be managed centrally. If managing
all user and group accounts centrally is a priority, refer to
HP StorageWorks Secure Key Manager
Key Protection Best Practices white paper.
