Creating User Keysets

In order to create a new keyset for a specific user, you will first have to make sure that there is spare keyset space available on the HSM. This can be done by opening the ProtectToolkit-M administration utility.

Should no spare space be available, you will have to allocate additional keyset space on the HSM. For details, please refer to the appropriate section above.

NOTE   Users can create keysets for themselves once space is available.

To create a user 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 will now prompt 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.

The new keyset is displayed under the device.
