Issue

  • IBM SKLM key servers use the following terminology:
  • SKLM:Master - can store and retrieve keys.
  • SKLM:Clone - can only retrieve keys.

  • In a clustered key server configuration, IBM SKLM key servers can be configured as either:
  • Multi-Master - primary and secondary key servers are SLKM:Masters
  • Master-Clone - primary key server is an SLKM:Master, secondary key servers are SKLM:Clones

  • When a key is successfully created on an SKLM:Master, it is replicated to the other servers in the clustered key server.

  • When an SKLM Master-Clone configuration is used
  • key creation will fail if the Master is inaccessible.
  • When an SKLM Master-Master configuration is used
  • key creation will be attempted on each Master until it succeeds, or it fails on all Masters.
