Download and install HKMS RPM File

Before you can connect the key server to the Management Server, you must install the hybrid key management (HKMS) software.

  1. Select Administration > System Settings.
  2. Select Downloads from the menu.
  3. Click the download icon for HKMS.
  4. Save the RPM file.
  5. Open the RPM file to begin the installation.
  6. Enter the following command:
    Sudo yum install hkms-<version>.x86_64.rpm.

    The system responds:

    [root@pherur-centos ~]# yum install hkms-1.5.0-54.x86_64.rpm Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
    Examining hkms-1.5.0-54.x86_64.rpm: hkms-1.5.0-54.x86_64 Marking hkms-1.5.0-54.x86_64.rpm to be installed Resolving Dependencies
    There are unfinished transactions remaining. You might consider running yum-complete-transaction, or "yum-complete-transaction --cleanup-only" and "yum history redo last", first to finish them. If those don't work you'll have to try removing/installing packages by hand (maybe package-cleanup can help).
    The program yum-complete-transaction is found in the yum-utils package.
