Viewing and Changing the Active Key Server

The Key Manager Status screen shows you which encryption key server is currently active, and allows you to change the active server. When you change the active server, it means that the next key server operation and all subsequent key server operations will be performed using the new active server until that server fails or the key server settings are changed.

NOTE: This feature is only available with KMIP Key Manager, and requires Administrator privileges.

1. From the Tools menu, select EKM Management > Server Status.
   
   A list of all your connected EKM servers displays. The currently active server displays in bold green type with the word "(Active)" after it.
2. To choose a different server to be the active server, select that server's radio button and click Apply.
   
   The Progress Window displays. The Progress Window contains information on the action, elapsed time, and status of the requested operation. Do one of the following:
   • If Success displays in the Progress Window, the operation completed successfully. Click Close to close the Progress Window.
   • If Failure displays in the Progress Window, the operation did not successfully complete. Follow the instructions listed in the Progress Window to resolve any issues that occurred during the operation.
