Steps for changing asymmetric master keys when sharing a PKDS

z/OS Cryptographic Services ICSF Administrator's Guide
SA22-7521-17

If you have multiple systems sharing a PKDS and make changes to the PKA master keys, you must reencipher and activate the PKDS. A PCICC, PCIXCC, CEX2C, or CEX3C is required on your system for this process.

Note:
If a system has a CEX3C coprocessor with the Sep. 2011 or later LIC, the PKA callable services control will not be activated and the steps to disable/enable the PKA callable service control are not applicable in the following procedure.

Assume you have two systems, A and B sharing a PKDS data set, OLDPKDS. The steps to reencipher and activate are:

  1. From SYSTEM A, disable PKA callable services if active. To do this, enter a 'D' prior to the function (see Steps for enabling and disabling PKA callable services and PKDS updates).
  2. On SYSTEM B, disable Dynamic PKDS Access. To do this, enter a 'D' prior to the function (see Steps for enabling and disabling PKA callable services and PKDS updates).
  3. On system A, load the new master keys (see PKA master keys and the PKDS).
  4. On system A, reencipher OLDPKDS, creating NEWPKDS (see Steps for changing the RSA-MK or ECC-MK master key and reenciphering the PKDS).
  5. On system A, change master keys (see Steps for changing the RSA-MK or ECC-MK master key and reenciphering the PKDS).
  6. On system A, enable PKA callable services if active (see Steps for enabling and disabling PKA callable services and PKDS updates).
  7. On system A, enable Dynamic PKDS Access (see Steps for enabling and disabling PKA callable services and PKDS updates).
  8. On system B, disable PKA callable services if active (see Steps for enabling and disabling PKA callable services and PKDS updates).
  9. On system B, load the new master keys (see Steps for changing the RSA-MK or ECC-MK master key and reenciphering the PKDS).
  10. On system B, change master keys (see Steps for changing the RSA-MK or ECC-MK master key and reenciphering the PKDS).
  11. On system B, enable PKA callable services if active (see Steps for enabling and disabling PKA callable services and PKDS updates).
  12. On system B, enable Dynamic PKDS Access (see Steps for enabling and disabling PKA callable services and PKDS updates).
