If you are using a key management system that requires a connection using a protocol other than KMIP, you will need an adapter that converts the request from the Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres into a request format that the key management system can accept.

By preparing the adapter and registering it as a plug-in to the Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres, you can use the key management system as a keystore.

The adapter must be implemented to meet the requirements specified by the Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres.

The key management system must be capable of meeting the requirements of the adapter.

See "Appendix M Access to Key Management System Using Plug-in" for adapter requirements.

The maximum length of the secret, used for example to pass passwords and other information to plug-ins, is 4095 bytes.
