  2. Select option 1, INIT/REFRESH/UPDATE CKDS and the Initialize a CKDS panel appears.
    Figure 120. ICSF Master Key Management Panel
     CSFMKM10 ---------------- ICSF - Master Key Management  ----------------
     OPTION ===>  1
    
     Enter the number of the desired option.                                       
                                                                                  
       1  INIT/REFRESH/UPDATE CKDS - Initialize a Cryptographic Key Data Set or    
                               activate an updated Cryptographic Key Data Set      
       2  SET MK            -  Set a master key (AES, DES, ECC)               
       3  REENCIPHER CKDS   -  Reencipher the CKDS prior to changing a symmetric   
                               master key                                          
       4  CHANGE SYM MK     -  Change a symmetric master key and activate the      
                               reenciphered CKDS 
       5  INIT/REFRESH/UPDATE PKDS -  Initialize a Public Key Data Set or
                               activate an updated Public Key Data Set or
                               update the Public Key Data Set header              
       6  REENCIPHER PKDS   -  Reencipher the PKDS        
       7  CHANGE ASYM MK    -  Change an asymmetric master key and activate the
                               reenciphered PKDS
       8  COORDINATED KDS REFRESH - Perform a coordinated KDS refresh
       9  COORDINATED KDS CHANGE MK - Perform a coordinated KDS change master key  
  3. In the CKDS field, enter the name of the empty VSAM data set that was created to use as the disk copy of the CKDS.
    Figure 121. ICSF Initialize a CKDS Panel
     CSFCKD10 ---------------- ICSF - Initialize a CKDS  ----------------
     COMMAND ===>
    
    
     Enter the number of the desired option.
    
       1  Initialize an empty CKDS (creates the header and system keys)
              Record authentication required (Y/N) 
       2  REFRESH   -  Activate an updated CKDS
    
     Enter the name of the CKDS below.
    
       CKDS ===> 'FIRST.EMPTY.CKDS'
     

    The name you enter can be the same name that is specified in the CKDSN keyword option in the installation options data set. You can also initialize a data set that might serve as a backup. For information about creating a CKDS and specifying the CKDS name in the installation options data set, see z/OS Cryptographic Services ICSF System Programmer’s Guide.

  4. Choose option 1, Initialize an empty CKDS, and press ENTER.

    To improve performance, answer N to Record authentication required.

    ICSF creates the header record in the disk copy of the CKDS and refreshes the CKDS.

    When ICSF completes all these steps, the message INITIALIZATION COMPLETE appears.
