How do you point dbparm.ini to the NEW key in HSM?

Pointing the dbparm.ini file to the NEW key in a Hardware Security Module (HSM) requires modifying the configuration within the dbparm.ini file itself. This file contains critical configuration settings and parameters that dictate how the application interacts with the HSM, including which keys to use during operations.

When you make changes to the dbparm.ini file, you can specify the new key or update any necessary parameters to ensure that the application correctly references the desired key in the HSM. This adjustment is essential because it directly affects the secure handling of data and ensures that cryptographic operations are performed using the proper key material.

Other options, such as installing new server software or running a diagnostic tool, do not inherently change the configuration of dbparm.ini. Rebooting the server, while sometimes necessary for applying updates or changes across system configurations, will not by itself point the dbparm.ini to a new key unless the file has been explicitly modified beforehand. Therefore, modifying the dbparm.ini configuration is the vital step for successfully configuring the application to utilize the new key in the HSM.
