Key attributes for CloudHSM CLI

This topic describes how to use CloudHSM CLI to set key attributes. A key attribute in CloudHSM CLI can define a key’s type, how a key can function, or how a key is labeled. Some attributes define unique characteristics (a key’s type, for example). Other attributes can be set to true or false—changing them either activates or deactivates a part of the key’s functionality.

For examples showing how to use key attributes, see the commands listed under the parent command The key category in CloudHSM CLI.
