Uploading Client Certificates to User Portal

In User Portal, configure the API connection and upload your API credentials:

1. In the Management Portal, navigate to the PKM Connection page, where you can configure the API connection and upload the API credentials.

   If the User Portal instance was previously connected to another Key Manager deployment, you will need to Erase local data to prevent it from interfering with the operations in the new Key Manager deployment.

   On the Key Manager API settings page, provide the API connection information:

   • Key Manager front-end URL: The address of the Key Manager API.

     The The API is located on each Key Manager front end. For example, if you have a Key Manager front end at https://frontend.example.com, then you should set the URL to https:// frontend.example.com

   • Verify certificate: If set to Yes, connections are only established if the Key Manager front end certificate is valid. If set to No, connections are allowed even if the Key Manager front end uses invalid certificates.

   If you are using an API Token, you will additionally have to provide:

   • Key Manager API token: The API token file that was downloaded previously.

   If you are using client certificates, you will additionally have to provide:

   • ca.crt: The contents of the root-CA certificate file
   • client.crt: The contents of the client-certificate file.
   • client.key: The contents of the client-key file.

2. Click Save to save the connection configuration. If the connection succeeds, you should get a message that reads Connection to Key Manager API successful.
