+\fB/etc/zkey/kms-plugins.conf\fP. This file contains the KMS plugin name and

+system plugins that can be used.
+.
+.PP
+After binding a repository to a key management system, the KMS plugin must
+first be configured. Use the \fBkms configure\fP command to
+configure the plugin. As a minimum, you must associate APQNs with the key
+management system plugin. The plugin may require additional configuration
+before it is fully functioning. Use the \fBkms info\fP command to display
+information about the key management system plugin and its configuration.
+.
+.PP
+When a key repository is bound to a key management system, then all keys are
+generated by this key management system per default, and are thus also bound to
+the key management system. Any additional information associated with the keys
