User Management Utility

Configure User Management utility.

Using this utility, the Crypto User (CU) and the Crypto Officer (CO) can perform user and key management operations on an HSM cluster:

You can perform the following operations:
  • Manage user accounts, including creating and deleting users, changing user passwords, and transferring ownership of CU keys.
  • Manage keys, including find and transferring ownership of keys.
  • Backup and restore a partition.
Note

The CU user does not have permission to perform administrative tasks.

The User Management utility operates on two modes - Global and Server.

Global Mode: By default, the User Management utility is in global mode on restart. Any command that you run in global mode is applied on all HSM partitions in the cluster.
