Defining System Options in Parmlib › Sample Parmlib Members › B2B Key Ring Options › RingAlias Options

RingAlias Options

Use the RingAlias options to specify parameters for the key ring alias names specified in the B2BKeyrings section.

Each ShareRingAlias and the UserRingAlias defined in the B2BKeyrings section must be further described in its own RingAlias section:

ShareRingAlias

Specifies the same value that was assigned as an operand of the ShareRingAlias= parameter in the B2BKeyrings section.

UserRingAlias

Specifies the same value that was assigned as an operand of the UserRingAlias= parameter in the B2BKeyrings section.

Note: If the operand for ShareRingAlias or UserRingAlias contains spaces, use the underscore character instead of a space, and enclose the operand in single quotes.

Use the following keywords with the ShareRingAlias and UserRingAlias sections:

KeyRingName="keyringname'

Indicates the name of the key ring that is stored in your security system.

'keyringname'

Indicates the name of the key ring. Enclose this value in single quotes. The KeyRingName value is case-sensitive.

Limits: 72 alphanumeric characters

Default: None

B2BRsaKeepHours=nnn

Indicates the specified number of hours after the creation of the tape to retain a randomly generated symmetric key that is encrypted with a public RSA key. This retention period allows the created tape to be added to or read. After the specified number of hours from the creation of the tape, the key is deleted, and no reading or writing of the tape is permitted without the private key of the public/private key pair.

nnn

Specifies the number of hours to retain a randomly generated symmetric key that is encrypted with a public RSA key.

Range: 0 to 999

Default: 8
