In the previous section, you exported all the Pure Storage FlashArray CA tree certificates to the storage medium (USB Device or FTP Server) configured on the KMES Series 3. You must copy the contents of these files to your computer clipboard for use in the following FlashArray CLI commands.
Define the KMIP server and import the KMIP Server CA certificate
Thepurekmip create command enables the creation of a KMIP server and provides a way to import the CA certificate for the KMIP server (the root CA certificate in the Pure Storage FlashArray certificate tree). When prompted after executing the command, paste in the KMIP server CA certificate. Be sure to copy the entire certificate, including both the -----BEGIN and ----END lines.
In the URI field, specify the IP address or hostname of the KMES Series 3 and the KMIP port number.
Shell
If the command is successful, the output shows the name and URI of the KMIP Server, the name of the FlashArray certificate associated with it, and a Boolean value of
True or False for whether the CA certificate is configured.Import the signed FlashArray certificate
You can use thepurecert setattr command to import the signed FlashArray certificate. When prompted after executing the command, paste in the signed FlashArray certificate. Be sure to copy the entire certificate, including the -----BEGIN and ----END lines.
Shell
If the command succeeds, the output lists the certificate name, and Status shows Imported.
Test connection and authentication
Use thepurekmip test command to verify that the specified credentials successfully contact and authenticate with the KMIP port on the KMES Series 3.
Shell
If the command succeeds, the output lists the name of the KMIP server, and the Status field shows OK.
