Enabling OnBoard Key Manager - Powershell

drwoodberry — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 14:59:56 GMT

I am trying to enable the onboard key manager with powershell. I see some cmdlets that allow me to create an external one, but any ideas on the onboard? I want to simulate running "security key-manager setup" and setting the phasephrase.

Thank you in advance

Hello @drwoodberry,

You should be able to use the Initialize-NcSecurityKeyManager cmdlet.

Hope that helps.

Thank you, and that was sadly obvious. I looked at a different Key-Manager cmdlet that required an IP. I overlooked this one with the non-required switches and the OnBoard switch.

Worked like it should.

Thanks
