You can use the Onboard Key Manager (OKM) to manage authentication keys. If you have the OKM set up, you must record the passphrase and backup material before beginning the upgrade.

Steps

  1. Record the cluster-wide passphrase.

    This is the passphrase that was entered when the OKM was configured or updated using the CLI or REST API.

  2. Verify the passphrase and the key-manager operation:

    security key-manager onboard sync

    When prompted, enter the cluster-wide OKM passphrase that you recorded in the previous step.

  3. Verify that cc-mode is enabled by reviewing the output of the following command:

    security key-manager config show

  4. Back up the key-manager information:

    security key-manager onboard show-backup
