When upgrading to SMS v6.2.0 and later, the system attempts to automatically update the 1K key by downloading the 2K certificate key from the TMC. A system log entry will be created if installation of the 2K key fails.
On an SMS running v6.1.0 or earlier, the 1K key is used by default. Follow these steps to upgrade to the 2K key.

Procedure

  1. Click Upgrade to open the SMS Certificate Key Upgrade wizard, review the list of incompatible devices, and then click Next.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Download the SMS certificate key from the TMC:
      1. Select Download from TMC, and then click Next. The SMS displays the status of the certificate key package download. The SMS displays an error message if a connection cannot be made to the TMC, the file is not found, or the file is invalid.
      2. Click Download to download the selected patch.
    • Import the SMS certificate key file from storage media or your local drive:
      The SMS certificate key is available on the TMC at My Account → FIPS Certification Package
      1. Select Import from File, and then click Next.
      2. Click Browse, and then select the SMS certificate key package.
      3. Click Import.
  3. (Optional) Select the Restart the SMS when finished check box to immediately restart the SMS.
    The 2K key will not be in use until you restart the SMS. If you install the 2K key without restarting the SMS, a message will display on the SMS Certificate Key panel.
  4. Click Finish.
