After the Authentication Drive Security Key dialog appears, you have to enter the authentication drive security key (currently the LKM key) in the Authentication Drive Security Key dialog as shown in the following figure.

If you enter a valid authentication key, you will see a confirmation message indicating that EKM is enabled as shown in the following figure.

Based on the application’s response at that particular point of time, you come across two scenarios. The first scenario is, if EKMS is selected and EKMS is not present, and the second scenario is, if you enter a wrong security key in the Authentication Drive Security Key dialog.
Scenario # 1 - EKM is selected and EKMS is not present
When EKM is selected and EKMS is not present, you have to restart the system, and during re-boot the boot agent generates the security keys.
When you restart the system, the system restart message appears as shown in the following figure.

Scenario #2 - Entering a wrong security key
If you enter a wrong security key in the Authentication Drive Security Key dialog box, an error message appears as shown in the following figure.
