Control Parameters for Managing Keys

Control parameters for managing keys are stored in parmlib. Edit parmlib to specify how tapes are encrypted, what type of encryption to use, and how to manage keys.

Note: ShareRingAlias and UserRingAlias are user customized RingAlias sections.

Use the following parmlib sections and attributes for managing keys:

<SymmetricKeys>

Key=

<key_section>

Regenerate=
Deactivate=
NumberOfGenerations=

<B2BKeyrings>

ShareRingAlias=

<ShareRingAlias>

B2BRsaKeepHours=

<UserRingAlias>

KeyringName=
