Z/OS: Trusted Key Entry Workstation (tke)

Method 3: Creating individual user-defined role and user-defined profile definition files
In all releases of the TKE, you can use a feature in the Cryptographic Node Management (CNM) utility to
create individual role and profile definition files for each of your user-defined roles and profiles on the
TKE’s local crypto adapter. The files contain all the information that is required to load the roles and
profiles onto a TKE’s local crypto adapter. You can use the following steps to create individual role and
profile definition files. Note: Use this method only if you are not on TKE 7.3 or later.
Procedure
1. On the source TKE workstation, from the Trusted Key Entry Console, select Trusted Key Entry.
2. Open the Cryptographic Node Management utility.
3. Sign on to the TKE crypto adapter if you are prompted to do so.
4. If you do not have customer-defined roles for which you need to create files, skip to step 7.
5. Select Access Control > Roles.
For each user-defined role:
a) Highlight the user-defined role.
b) Click Edit.
c) Click Save.
d) Enter a file name.
File naming suggestion: Use role name.rol.
e) Click Save.
A message window opens confirming that the role has been saved.
f) Click OK to close the message window.
g) Click Done to end the edit session.
6. After the last user-defined role is saved, click Done.
7. If you do not have user-defined profiles, skip to step 10
8. For each user-defined profile:
a) Select Access Controls > Profiles.
b) Highlight the user-defined profile.
c) Click Edit.
d) For passphrase profiles, enter a password.
The password does not have to match the password that the profile has on the crypto adapter.
