4.1 Migrating from an earlier version of IBM Security Key

Lifecycle Manager
IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager does not support direct upgrade of a
previously installed version to a newer version. However, it supports data migration using two
methods:
򐂰 Inline migration
When the host system of the target version is the same as the existing version, use inline
migration of data. In this case, a new copy of GKLM is installed on the same host machine
and data is copied from the GKLM instance of existing version to the GKLM instance of
the target version. Inline migration option is not available for fix-pack releases and is
available only for major and Mod releases. (Every Mod Release or a Fix Pack has a
specific naming convention. The format is V.R.M.F, which is Version. Release. Mod.
FixPack).
򐂰 Cross migration
When the host system of the target version is different than the host system of the existing
version, use cross migration approach for data migration. The existing version and target
version can be installed on host machines with different versions of operating system. e.g.
the existing version can be installed on windows operating system while the target version
can be installed on host machine with Linux operating system and vice-versa. IBM
Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager provides sample properties files that you can
use to cross migrate data. This is a preferable method for migration.

Supported migration paths and migration methods are shown in Figure 4-1.

5.3 Configuring replication for IBM Security Guardium Key

Lifecycle Manager
IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager can be configured to automatically replicate
cryptographic keys, configuration files, and other critical data from a master server to up to 20
clone servers. The automatic replication ensures continuous keys and certificates availability
to encrypting devices.

The data replication enables cloning of IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager
environments to multiple servers in a manner that is independent of operating systems and
directory structures of the servers.

The master server is the primary system that is replicated, and the replication process is
triggered only when new keys or devices are added or modified on the master server. Each
clone server is identified by an IP address or host name, and a port number. The server uses
the properties in the ReplicationSKLMConfig.properties file to control the replication
process.

IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager Replication can be configured in three modes:
1. Master-Clone Full Replication: In this mode, full data backup of master server will be
replicated on the clone server. Default replication schedule is 1 day and minimum
schedule can be 1 hour.
2. Master-Clone Incremental Replication: In this mode, data created on master server will
be replicated on the clone server since last backup instead of full data replication. Default
replication schedule is 1 minute which is minimum as well. Incremental replication is near
real-time synchronization.
Incremental Replication can only be configured along with Full Replication.
3. Master only for scheduled backup: This mode is also called scheduled backup. In this
mode, only a master server is configured with no clone. This mode will take full automated
backup at the scheduled time only if new keys or certificates are created.

Here are the actions performed by IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager replication
server during Full Replication:
1. Check if backup is required at the scheduled time.
2. If no backup is required (means no keys are created), then replication will be skipped.
3. If backup is required (means new keys are created), then IBM Security Guardium Key
Lifecycle Manager replication master server will trigger replication process.
4. Replication master server will start a secure TLS 1.2 communication with clone servers.
5. Replication master server will transmit backup file created above.
6. Replication clone server will restore the backup.
7. Replication clone server will send the status to Replication master.
8. Replication clone server will be restarted at the end of the process.

3. Login to the clone server and restore backup file. For more information, see “Restoring
IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager” on page 70.
4. The clone server will restart automatically after successful restore.

Note: It is very important that same server certificate is available on all masters and
clones in a replication cluster. If a certificate which is configured on Replication master
configuration page is not available on clones then replication will not work. If a server
certificate on the master is replaced due to expiration or any other reason then make
sure that the same server certificate is copied to clone servers with private key. This
action can be done in one of the following ways:
򐂰 Backup from the master and restore on the clone. This is preferable option.
򐂰 Use Key Export REST API to export public-private key pair on the master server and
and use Key Import REST API to import public-private key pair on the clone servers.

5.4 Configuring a Multi-Master cluster

Implementation of a high availability (HA) solution requires configuring IBM Security
Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager master servers in a Multi-Master cluster. All IBM Security
Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager instances in the cluster point to a single data source that is
configured for Db2 HA disaster recovery (DR) (HADR) to ensure real-time availability of the
latest data to all the master servers in the cluster.

You can use the IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager Multi-Master configuration for
data transmission to achieve the following objectives:
򐂰 Ensure consistent and continuous data availability of IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle
Manager across the organization.
򐂰 Avoid a single point of failure by using the HA solution.
򐂰 Place master servers at several physical sites, that is, distributed across the network.

To set up HADR, you must configure the necessary Db2 parameters in the IBM Security
Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager master servers with a primary database and a standby
database. Figure 5-42 shows a simple deployment of IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle
Manager and Db2 HADR for a Multi-Master environment where four instances (master
servers) of Db2 HADR and N instances of IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager are
configured.

Figure 5-42 Deployment example

Note: The Multi-Cluster setup is more suitable in a dynamic environment, which requires
frequent key or certificate creation or modification. For a relatively static environment, the
backup/restore and replication approach is recommended.

Draft Document for Review June 11, 2021 12:08 pm 8472_ch_Configuration.fm

5.4.1 Types of servers in a Multi-Master cluster

In a Multi-Master cluster, servers can be of different types.

Primary
The server where the database is currently up and applications are able to connect and
update data. All servers in HADR cluster point to this database. There can be only one
primary server in the cluster at a time.

Principal Standby
The standby server of the HADR cluster that is target for the defined SYNCMODE from the
primary server. Only one standby may be the principal standby at a time.

Auxiliary Standby
Any standby server of the HADR, which is not the principal standby. The only syncmode
supported for Auxiliary standby is SUPERASYNC. Any server in the HADR cluster beyond
the first two is an Auxiliary standby. This server is for disaster recovery (DR) purpose, and as
such is generally placed in a geographically dispersed data center.

Master Server or Non-Standby Server

Any server which is not Primary or Standby, is setup as master server. Master servers are the
servers that connect to the database which is being used by Db2 HADR. If data
synchronization service is configured, the primary server will send regular backups to this
server (by default every 24 hours). This backup server can be used for disaster recovery as it
has the backup from primary. For more information on data synchronization service see, Data
Synchronization Service.

5.4.2 Setting up minimal deployment of a Multi-Master cluster

This section covers the configuration of the minimal deployment of a Multi-Master cluster, as
shown in Figure 5-43.

Figure 5-43 Minimal deployment of a Multi-Master cluster

The deployment prerequisites are:

򐂰 Both primary and standby Db2 database servers must be installed on the same version of
the operating system.
򐂰 The Db2 version that is installed on the IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager
primary and standby master servers must match.
򐂰 You must use a dedicated network for the Db2 HADR primary and standby connections.

Chapter 5. IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager Configuration 81

8472_ch_Configuration.fm Draft Document for Review June 11, 2021 12:08 pm

򐂰 Db2 user names and passwords must be same on all masters servers of IBM Security
Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager Multi-Master cluster.
For more information about requirements for Multi-Master configuration, see IBM
Documentation (formerly IBM Knowledge Center).

You must ensure that your computer host name is configured correctly before you set up
IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager master servers for a Multi-Master
configuration. You can resolve an IP address to a host name by editing the /etc/hosts file.

For Db2 HADR configuration, you must update the /etc/hosts file in the primary and standby
master servers of the cluster to enable host name to IP address mapping, as shown in
Example 5-1.

Example 5-1 The /etc/hosts file on the primary master and standby master servers
Primary Master
[root@manumits1 ~]$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
10.41.4.87 manumits1.fyre.ibm.com manumits1
10.41.5.152 abjectly1.fyre.ibm.com abjectly1

Standy Master
[root@abjectly1 ~]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4

#Example for a computer with 16GB of RAM:
kernel.shmmni=4096
kernel.shmmax=17179869184
kernel.shmall=8388608
#kernel.sem=<SEMMSL> <SEMMNS> <SEMOPM> <SEMMNI>
kernel.sem=250 1024000 32 4096
kernel.msgmni=16384
kernel.msgmax=65536
kernel.msgmnb=65536

For more information about setting up kernel parameters, see IBM Documentation
(formerly IBM Knowledge Center).
2. Log on to the IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager portal on the primary master

[root@abjectly1 agent]# ./sklmTakeoverHADR.sh /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/
HADR Takeover successful.
Verify the standby server is promoted to primary, using the following command:
[sklmdb41@abjectly1 ~]$ db2pd -d sklmdb41 -hadr
Database Member 0 -- Database SKLMDB41 -- Active -- Up 3 days 21:53:03 -- Date
2021-05-10-23.25.50.671871
HADR_ROLE = PRIMARY
REPLAY_TYPE = PHYSICAL
HADR_SYNCMODE = SYNC
STANDBY_ID = 1
LOG_STREAM_ID = 0
HADR_STATE = DISCONNECTED
HADR_FLAGS =
PRIMARY_MEMBER_HOST = abjectly1.fyre.ibm.com
PRIMARY_INSTANCE = sklmdb41
PRIMARY_MEMBER = 0
STANDBY_MEMBER_HOST = manumits1.fyre.ibm.com
STANDBY_INSTANCE = sklmdb41
STANDBY_MEMBER = 0
HADR_CONNECT_STATUS = DISCONNECTED
output omitted......

Note: The HADR state shows disconnected as the primary master server in the cluster
is still unreachable.

4. Once the connectivity is restored and the original primary server is reachable again, and
you have promoted the principal standby server as primary, you need to recover the
Multi-Master cluster from possible split-cluster scenario, see, Recover from Split
Cluster.

5.5 Integrating LDAP with IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle

Manager Traditional Edition using configuration scripts
You can integrate LDAP with IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager by using LDAP
configuration scripts. The configuration scripts also take the backup of WebSphere
configuration and IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager data.

You might need to restore the following data to the state it was before the LDAP configuration
steps were run:
򐂰 WebSphere Application Server configuration data for IBM Security Guardium Key
Lifecycle Manager
򐂰 IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager application data

5.5.1 Preparing for the configuration

To prepare for running the LDAP configuration scripts:
1. Log on to the server where IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager is installed, and
open the config.py file under SKLM_INSTALL_HOME\bin\LDAPIntegration.
SKLM_INSTALL_HOME points to following directories:
a. Windows: C:\Program Files\IBM\SKLMV41
b. Linux: /opt/IBM/SKLMV41/
2. Edit the config.py file to add values to properties like ip (IP address of the LDAP server),
port (port to connect to LDAP server,) LDAP_server_type (type of LDAP server like IDS),
and base_entry (distinguished name of the base entry) as shown in Example 5-5

Example 5-5 Edit the config.py

[root@manumits1 bin]# cat /opt/IBM/SKLMV41/bin/LDAPIntegration/config.py
import string, sys
LDAP_server_type="IDS"
login_id="uid"
ip="ldapserver.company.com"
port="389"
gr_name="Group"
pr_name="PersonAccount"
gr_obj_class="groupOfUniqueNames"
pr_obj_class="person"
mem_name="uniqueMember"
mem_obj_class="groupOfUniqueNames"
base_entry="o=company.com"
scope="direct"
backupPassword="Change@Password123"

Note: Make sure to change the value for property in backupPassword. This is the
password used while creating the IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager
application backup.

To determine the spine width of a book, you divide the paper PPI into the number of pages in the book. An example is a 250 page book using Plainfield opaque 50# smooth which has a PPI of 526. Divided
250 by 526 which equals a spine width of .4752". In this case, you would use the .5” spine. Now select the Spine width for the book and hide the others: Special>Conditional
Text>Show/Hide>SpineSize(-->Hide:)>Set . Move the changed Conditional text settings to all files in your book by opening the book file with the spine.fm still open and File>Import>Formats the
Conditional Text Settings (ONLY!) to the book files.
