3.3.5.2.1.1 KeyActivation

  • Article

Synopsis:

This method enables a client to bind an Identity with a management server member, during a manual account configuration or an account conversion process.

Request Preparation:

Follow the following steps to compute KeyID:

  1. Compute the SHA1 digest of the account configuration code. For computing the SHA1 hash, the account configuration string is treated as a Unicode string.  The SHA1 hash is computed by interpreting the string as bytes, in little-endian order, not including the terminating NULL character.

  2. Compute the SHA1 digest of the digest generated in step 1.

The client MUST send a key activation request message as defined in section 2.2.3.36.

Response Processing:

On successful response from management server, client SHOULD create a new identity entry, management domain, and server entry if they do not exist.
