Support for Creating Domain Key for an Organization

A Domain Key is used to protect the public key stored in the ArcotID. When an ArcotID is created, the current default domain key for the organization is used to protect it. With this release of AuthMinder, you can:

• Create multiple key configurations using the Administration Console. The latest key is used as the default key while creating ArcotIDs and authenticating those ArcotIDs. The other active keys will be used for authentication only. You can configure keys at the global level or at the organization level.
• Update the key validity period. You can update the validity of active and expired keys.
• Retire a key, which means the key will no longer be valid after this operation.

During the AuthMinder server bootstrap, a domain key is created at the global level. For more information about Domain Key management, see the CA AuthMinder Administration Guide.
