case, the recipient is asked to enter the library serial number when
importing the file. In these cases, the originator must supply the alias.
The alias is listed in the
library_serialnum file located in the QEKM
directory of the originating Q-EKM server:
Data Encryption Key
Alias 6
The data encryption key alias is the WWN key associated with the
Q-EKM server from which the data encryption keys originated. (It is the
same WWN key that was entered during Q-EKM installation.) The alias
(WWN key) appears in the file name of the exported encryption key file
when it is exported from the Q-EKM server. For instance, in file name
EXK00E09E
0978f7_29072010.jck, the alias is 0978f7.
Q-EKM needs the unique alias to associate with an imported encryption
key file. Normally Q-EKM pulls the alias off of the file name without any
input from the user required. Occasionally, the owner of the file may
change the file name so that the WWN key no longer appears. In this case,
the recipient is asked to enter the WWN key when importing the file. In
these cases, the originator must supply the alias.
The alias is listed in the
library_wwnamekey file located in the QEKM
directory:
Why You Should Not Change File Names
It is strongly recommended that you do NOT change the default names of
public certificate files and data encryption key files that you export or
import. Q-EKM allows you to change file names; however, it is not
recommended. Changing the file name creates more work for both the
sender and receiver of these files, and may cause confusion.
