Entrust provides several administrative interfaces that allow you to configure and maintain Cryptographic Security Platform Vault and the encrypted VMs registered with Cryptographic Security Platform Vault.

Interface

Description

Cryptographic Security Platform Vault webGUI

A browser-based HTTPS interface to Cryptographic Security Platform Vault that lets you perform Cryptographic Security Platform Vault configuration and VM management. You can log into the webGUI on any Cryptographic Security Platform Vault node in the cluster. Any changes you make on that node are automatically disseminated to all other Cryptographic Security Platform Vault nodes in the cluster.

For more information, see CSP Vault Management webGUI Overview.

Entrust Cryptographic Security Platform Vault System Console

The Entrust Cryptographic Security Platform Vault System Console is available on each Cryptographic Security Platform Vault node in the cluster. It lets you set local configuration options for the node and perform basic functions such as joining the node to an existing Cryptographic Security Platform Vault cluster and managing support access to the node.

For more information, see CSP Vault System Console Overview.

hicli

CLI (command line interface) commands that allow you to configure and maintain both Cryptographic Security Platform Vault and the VMs registered with Cryptographic Security Platform Vault.

For more information, see hicli Scripting Guide.

Entrust Policy Agent GUI

A Windows-only GUI installed with the Entrust Policy Agent. The Entrust Policy Agent GUI allows you to register and authenticate the VM on which it is installed. It also lets you encrypt and decrypt the disks on that VM.

Unlike the other interfaces, the Entrust Policy Agent GUI is limited to the VM on which it is installed. You cannot use the Entrust Policy Agent GUI on one VM to manage the disks on a different VM, even if both VMs are registered with Cryptographic Security Platform Vault.

For more information, see Entrust Policy Agent GUI Overview.

REST or Python APIs

Cryptographic Security Platform Vault can be configured and maintained through REST-based or Python-based API calls.
