View and Modify the Key Split Configuration

The key split configuration sets the number of users required to provide a quorum.

Available to: Security Officer (quorum required to modify)
  1. In the left navigation menu, expand Security, then expand Core Security, and then select Key Split Configuration.
  2. Click Modify... and complete the following:
    • Key Split Number — The number of key splits. The maximum is 10.
    • Threshold Number — The number of users that are necessary to authenticate a quorum.
    • Split User (1-10) — The user names of the existing split. For each Split User, complete its associated Passphrase and Confirm Passphrase fields.
  3. Click Save.
  4. To set "new" credentials requires the existing quorum. The existing quorum must type their usernames and passphrases to authenticate the operation.

    Once updated, OKM re-wraps the core security key using the updated key split credentials.

  5. Create a new core security backup (see Create a Core Security Backup).
  6. Destroy all old core security backup files to ensure that the previous key split credentials cannot be used to destroy a backup.
