Creating Keysets

To create a new keyset, first ensure that there is enough keyset space available on the HSM. This can be confirmed by opening the SafeNet ProtectToolkit-M Administration Utility.

If there is not enough space available, an administrator will have to allocate additional keyset space on the HSM. For details please refer to the previous chapter.

To create a keyset

1.Launch the administration utility from the Start menu by selecting Start > Programs > SafeNet > ProtectToolkit M > gmadmin.

2.Select the spare keyset space on which to create the keyset from the Active Adapters list.

3.Open the Keyset menu and choose Create Keyset.

4.The administration utility now prompts for the Keyset Name and the Keyset Password. Enter the required information into the fields provided and press OK to create the new keyset.

NOTE   The name of the keyset should match with the user login name.

5.The new keyset is displayed under the device.
