DESCRIPTION

The nbkmiputil runs the various external KMS server operations like retrieving keys, listing key IDs, setting key attributes, setting key states, and validating KMS servers.

The command supports the following operations:

-ekmsCheckCompat or -ecc

Use -ekmsCheckCompat or -ecc to determine if NetBackup is compatible with the specified external KMS server. You can also use this option to determine if the following KMIP operations are supported on the external KMS server: Create keys and retrieve keys by key group and key ID.

-getKey

Fetches the NetBackup keys from the external KMS server.

-listKeyIDs

Lists NetBackup key IDs that are present in the external KMS server as per the specified options.

-setAttribute

Sets the custom attribute for the given key in the external KMS server. Supported attribute names are x-application, x-keygroup, and x-comment.

-setState

Sets the state for the given key in the external KMS server.

-validate

Validates the related functionality with the external KMS server. The functionality that is validated includes:

  • Connecting to the external KMS server.

  • Listing NetBackup key IDs present in the external KMS server.

  • Fetch the key for any active NetBackup key ID.

  • Fetch and set the attributes on any NetBackup key ID.

OPTIONS

-activeKey

Specifies whether to list only active NetBackup keys.

-attributeName

Specifies the custom attribute name to be set. Supported attribute names are x-application, x-keygroup, and x-comment.

-attributeValue

Specifies the custom attribute value to be set. Supported attribute value for attribute x-application : NetBackup.

-certPath

Specifies the path of the PEM-encoded certificate that is to be used for authentication with the external KMS server.

-connectTimeout

Specifies the time-out value to connect to the external KMS server in seconds. The default value is 120 seconds.

-crlCheckLevel

Specifies the CRL check level. The possible values are: LEAF, CHAIN, and DISABLE. The default value is LEAF.

  • LEAF - Revocation status of peer's leaf certificate is checked.

  • CHAIN - Revocation status of full chain of peer certificate is checked.

  • DISABLE - Revocation status of peer certificate is not checked.

-extended

Performs operations such as locate keys, get attributes, and set attributes in addition to creating and retrieving keys by key group and key ID.

-getDetails

Displays the additional key attributes details for the NetBackup keys.

-jsonCompact

Specifies whether to display the output in JSON compact form.

-kad

Specifies the key associated data (KAD) of the NetBackup key to be fetched from the external KMS server.

-kadLength

Specifies the length up to which KAD of a NetBackup key is to be generated.

-keyId

If -keyId is used with the -getKey option, it specifies the key ID of the NetBackup key to be fetched from the external KMS server. If it is used with the -setAttribute option, it specifies the key ID of the key for which a custom attribute is to be set.

-kmsServer

Specifies the external KMS server name with which you want to connect.

-kmipVersion version

Specifies the KMIP version to be used. Supported KMIP versions: 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, and 2.0.

-maxItems

Specifies the maximum number of key IDs to be listed.

-nbKeyGroup

If it is used with the -getKey option, it specifies the key group name whose active and latest key is to be fetched from the external KMS server. If it is used with the -listKeyIDs option, it specifies the key group name for which keys are to be listed.

-offset

Specifies the offset number of the key ID from where the list of key IDs starts. The default value is 0.

-passphrasePath

Specifies the path of the file containing the passphrase that is required to access the keystore for authentication with the external KMS server.

-port

The port number in use by the external KMS server.

-privateKeyPath

Specifies the path of the private key that is to be used for authentication with the external KMS server.

-requestTimeout

Specifies the time-out value for the given request to external KMS server in seconds. Default value is 300 seconds.

-revocationReason 1 | 2 | 3| 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Supported key revocation reasons:

For -stateType DEACTIVATED:

  • 1 | UNSPECIFIED: The reason for key revocation is not specified.

  • 2 | AFFILIATION_CHANGED: The key owner's affiliation with the organization has changed.

  • 3 | SUPERSEDED: The current key needs to be replaced with the newly issued key.

  • 4 | CESSATION_OF_OPERATION: The key is no longer required because the associated operation or the service is discontinued.

  • 5 | PRIVILEGE_WITHDRAWN: The privileges with the given key are withdrawn.

For -stateType COMPROMISED:

  • 6 | KEY_COMPROMISE: The key is compromised.

  • 7 | CA_COMPROMISE: The certificate authority (CA) that issued the certificate to the external KMS server is compromised.

-stateType 1 | 2 | 3 | 4

Supported state types:

  • 1 | ACTIVE: You can use this key for cryptographic purpose.

  • 2 | DEACTIVATED: You should only use this key to process cryptographic information.

  • 3 | COMPROMISED: You should only use this key to process cryptographic information in a trusted client using managed keys that are compromised.

  • 4 | DESTROYED: You should not use this key to process cryptographic information.

-trustStorePath

Specifies the path of the PEM-encoded CA certificate that is to be used for authentication with the external KMS server.

-verbose

Specifies whether to display a detailed output in a JSON form.

EXAMPLES

Example 1: Set custom attributes for the external KMS.
