Creating the OSKMDBA Group for Database Installations

You must designate a group as the OSKMDBA group during installation. Members of this group are granted the SYSKM privileges to perform Transparent Data Encryption keystore operations.

Create the OSKMDBA group using the groups name kmdba unless a group with that name already exists:
  1. Enter the following command:
    # smit security
  2. Choose the appropriate menu items to create the kmdba group.
  3. Press F10 to exit.
