Key Management Utility (KMU) Reference

The Key Management Utility (KMU) provides a graphical user interface for key management functions, using a PKCS #11 sub-system. The utility provides the same functionality as the command line utility ctkmu (Command Line Utilities Reference).

Note: The KMU application is a Java-based application. A working Java runtime that supports the Swing user interface must be installed. This application has been tested with JDK 6, JDK 7, and JDK 8. The screenshots throughout this manual may vary from platform to platform.

Note: When operating in WLD/HA mode, this utility should only be used to view the configuration. Any changes to the configuration should be made in NORMAL mode. See Operation in WLD Mode and Operation in HA Mode.
