Managing DKE Endpoints
This section describes how to manage DKE endpoints from CCKM.
Microsoft Double Key Encryption (DKE) service can access CipherTrust Cloud Key Manager (CCKM) after you meet some prerequisites. Refer to Microsoft Double Key Encryption (DKE) Resources for more information about Microsoft DKE and the prerequisites.
Part of the prerequisites is creating a DKE endpoint. After you have created a DKE endpoint, you can:
Note
Users of the CCKM Admins group can manage DKE endpoints, whereas the users of the CCKM Users group can only view the DKE endpoints.
Creating DKE Endpoints
From CCKM GUI, create a DKE endpoint to make it available to the Microsoft DKE service. You can either create a new key encryption key (KEK) or select an existing KEK for the getkey and decrypt operations. If you do not specify a key, CCKM will automatically create a CipherTrust Manager key for you.
Note
Ensure that you have already created an authorized tenant, refer to Managing DKE Authorized Tenants for details.
If you plan to use the authorization method of Role ID for the access settings of DKE keys, you are required to set up an Azure connection before creating a DKE endpoint. For more information on how to add an Azure connection, refer to Microsoft Azure Connection.
In the Microsoft Azure application, go to the API Permissions section and configure the Directory.Read.All permission. Ensure that the
Type
for this permission is Application.
To create a DKE endpoint from the CCKM GUI:
Log on to the CipherTrust Manager GUI as a member of the CCKM Admins group.
Open the Cloud Key Manager application.
In the left pane, click Services > Microsoft DKE. The Microsoft Double Key Encryption (DKE) page is displayed.
Click Create Endpoint. The Add Double Key Encryption (DKE) Endpoint dialog box is displayed.
Under General Info, enter a unique Name and a description for the endpoint.
Click Next.
Under Endpoint Settings, provide the following settings:
Key URI Hostname. Enter the hostname at which CipherTrust Manager will be visible to Microsoft.
The Key URI Hostname will be used to construct the URL Microsoft will use to send requests to CipherTrust Manager.
The web interface of the CipherTrust Manager must have a valid TLS certificate signed by a trusted CA.
If the SSL termination takes place at the CipherTrust Manager, the Key URI Hostname must match the FQDN of the CipherTrust Manager. If the SSL termination takes place at the load balancer in front of the CipherTrust Manager, the Key URI Hostname must match the FQDN of the public-facing load balancer. Wildcard certificates are supported.
If you changed the web interface port within the {cm} from the default port (
443
) to another port (say8443
), add the same port when configuring the Key URI Hostname. Specify the new port number with the Key URI Hostname, for example,example.com:8443
.If you have a load balancer with SSL termination and mTLS disabled, the Key URI Hostname must match the FQDN of the public-facing load balancer.
If you have a load balancer without SSL termination, the Key URI Hostname must match
dke.
<load balancer hostname>.If you don't have a load balancer in front of CipherTrust Manager, the Key URI Hostname must match
dke.
<CipherTrust Manager hostname>.
Key Algorithm. The only option available for the DKE key algorithm is RSA_DECRYPT_OAEP_2048_SHA256. This box is greyed out.
Enable success audit events. Use this toggle to enable or disable audit recording of successful Microsoft DKE operations on this endpoint. This is optional. By default, this toggle is turned on.
Click Next.
Under Key Material, choose to either create a new key or copy an existing key.
Note
If you do not specify a key, CCKM will automatically create a CipherTrust Manager key for you.
If creating a new key, select Create New Key, enter the Key Name. If copying an existing key, select Copy Existing Key, select a key from the Key drop-down list.
Click Next.
Under Authorized Tenants, select the Authorized Tenant from the drop-down list.
Note
Select at least one authorized tenant. Multiple authorized tenants with the same issuer are not allowed.
Click Next.
Under Review and Add, review the details you provided for the new endpoint. These details are divided into GENERAL INFO, ENDPOINT SETTINGS, KEY MATERIAL, and AUTHORIZED TENANTS sections.
Note
After the endpoint is added, KEY MATERIAL will no longer be editable.
Click Add Endpoint.
The endpoint creation starts. A Create Endpoint In Progress message is displayed on the screen. Leave the window open until the process is completed.
Click Close. The Add Double Key Encryption (DKE) Endpoint wizard is closed.
The newly created endpoint is displayed in the list of Microsoft DKE endpoints.
