Configure the signature key after installing the proxy server through the Edge Encryption proxy installer.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

The signature key signs changes to configurations and properties made by the proxy server. The signature key must be an asymmetric RSA key pair in a JCEKS KeyStore.  
Note:  
If installing multiple proxies, each proxy must use the same signature key.

## Procedure

1. On the Signature Key page of the Edge Encryption installer, select the keystore on the host machine to store the signature key.
   * Create New Java KeyStore: Enter the directory location, name, and password for the new keystore.
   * Use Existing Keystore: Enter the keystore file location and password.

2. Click Next.
3. Select or create a signature key.
   * New Key: Create a signature key for this proxy.
   * Use Existing Key: Use an RSA key-pair from the selected keystore.
   * Import Existing Key: Import an RSA key-pair from a different keystore. Browse to the keystore file, enter the password for the keystore, and select the key alias. Provide a new alias for the key.
