Verify your environment meets these requirements.

​
Supported hardware

  • KMES Series 3, application version 6.3.1.3 or later, with the KMIP license enabled and initial setup completed (including loading a Platform Master Key and network configuration).

​
Required access

  • An account on the KMES with administrator permissions to create roles, identities, TLS PKI, and update system settings.
  • Local administrator/root access on the TrueNAS Enterprise server.

​
Network and firewall

  • Allow outbound TCP port 5696 (default KMIP port) from the TrueNAS Enterprise server to the KMES Series 3, specified by FQDN (for example, kmes.example.com) or CIDR (for example, 10.0.0.0/24).
TLS inspection or SSL proxies can break mutual TLS handshakes. Exempt the KMES FQDN(s) from inspection. Configure the KMES Series 3 with an FQDN so the exemption applies.
