Set an Agent's Passphrase

Set an agent's passphrase if you believe that the agent certificate or passphrase has been compromised.

When you set an agent's passphrase, you are effectively revoking the agent certificate that enables the agent to authenticate itself with the KMA.
Available to: Operator
  1. From the Agents menu, select Agent List.
  2. Select an agent from the list, and then click Details... (or double-click the agent).
  3. On the Passphrase tab, modify the passphrase.
  4. Click Save.
  5. Re-enroll the agent using the agent-specific procedure. For example, for StorageTek tape drives, the VOP (Virtual Operator Panel) must be used to re-enroll the agent with the OKM cluster. After changing an agent's passphrase, the agent is not able to make requests to the OKM cluster until it is re-enrolled.
