6.0 Changelog

This section outlines the new features, improvements, and bug fixes for the Fortanix DSM KMIP client.

DSM 4.37 - Latest

• Updated KMIP tab user interface (UI) under Fortanix DSM Settings → Client Configuration to provide greater flexibility in filtering keys.

  • The Allow secrets with unknown operations check box has been removed.

  • The Ignore unknown key operations for section has been added to disallow keys with unknown operations in the KMIP client configuration settings.

  For more details, refer to User's Guide: Group Client Configurations and User's Guide: Account Client Configurations.

DSM 4.36

• Introduced EXPORT permission for all keys during creation.

  • Using DSM UI: A new check box Default to creating keys with Export permission is added in DSM account Settings → CLIENT CONFIGURATION →  KMIP to enable this permission.

    For more details, refer to User's Guide: Group Client Configurations and User's Guide: Account Client Configurations.

  • Using DSM REST API: Added EXPORT operation in key_ops_override method to apply EXPORT permission for all keys.
    Example:

    "kmip": {
                    "ignore_unknown_key_ops_for_secrets":
                    "key_ops_override": {
                        "add_key_ops": ["EXPORT"]
             }
