Initializing PKI Services Manager
PKI Services Manager initialization depends on your operating system:
-
On Windows systems, initialization happens after installation when you do any of the following: start the console, start the service, restart Windows, or use the initialization option of the winpki command line utility.
-
On UNIX systems, initialization happens automatically when you run the install script.
What happens during initialization?
-
User data folders (config, logs, cache, local-store, temp) are created in the PKI Services Manager data folder.
-
Default
pki_config
andpki_map
files are created in the config folder. -
Private and public keys are created in the config folder. These keys are used to verify the identity of the server to applications using the PKI Services Manager services.
-
Correct folder and file permissions are set on files and folders.
-
(Windows only) If an
sshd2_config
file is present from a Reflection for Secure IT server (version 6.1 or older) or an F-Secure server, settings for handling certificate authentication are migrated to PKI Services Manager configuration and map files. (On UNIX systems, you can manually migrate settings using thepkid -m
option.)
