3. The Certificate Option screen displays the different certificate options that can be used to establish a
secure communication to the KMIP server. You can select from the following options:
v Library Self-Signed Certificate (default option) - A self-signed certificate that is generated by the
library is used.
v Uploaded Certificate - Upload a PCKS #12 file that includes a certificate and corresponding key.
v Generate Certificate Request (CSR) - A CSR is generated by the library that must be signed by a
CA server. This method requires a CA certificate that must be provided during the wizard steps.
a. Certification Configuration
– Library Self-Signed Certificate – skip to the next step.
– Uploaded Certificate

Certificate only authentication. Select this option only if you are using a KMIP server that
does not support a client user name and password. This default method is used when KMIP
is used with the IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager.
