Extend key rotation schedules

To prevent rotation while you migrate keys to the other KMS, in Thales DSM, extend the expiration date of the rotatable keys used for the recording solution. Set the new expiration far enough in the future to cover the estimated migration time and any unexpected delays.

Only update keys that start with "auto_", which are used for the Recorders.

Do not update DSM system keys, which show "from DSM" in the Source column.

Procedure 

  1. Log on to Thales DSM as a Security Administrator.

  2. Go to Keys, select Agent Keys.
