Key Value Location alternatives
All,

I’ve realized that there are two ways of expressing the Key Value Location in terms of the (new)

KMIP tags. I don’t have a preference and was wondering if anyone can provide an argument one way or the other.

When a client sends a Register request with an MDO key and wants to specify the location of the key value it can be done in the following two ways:

<Request Message, Header, Batch Item, Operation, …
>
Tag: Template-Attribute (0x420091), Type: Structure (0x01), Data:
   Tag: Key Value Location (0x4200B8), Type: Structure (0x01), Data:
      Tag: Key Value Location Value (0x4200BA), Type: Text String (0x07), Data: HSM-12345
      Tag: Key Value Location Type (0x4200B9), Type: Enumeration (0x05), Data: 0x00000001
<Other attributes, Object>

Or

<Request Message, Header, Batch Item, Operation, …
>
Tag: Template-Attribute (0x420091), Type: Structure (0x01), Data:
   Tag: Attribute (0x420008), Type: Structure (0x01), Data:
      Tag: Attribute Name (0x42000A), Type: Text String (0x07), Data: Key Value Location
      Tag: Attribute Value (0x42000B), Type: Structure (0x01), Data:
         Tag: Key Value Location Value (0x4200BA), Type: Text String (0x07), Data: HSM-12345
         Tag: Key Value Location Type (0x4200B9), Type: Enumeration (0x05), Data: 0x00000001
<Other attributes, Object>

What in your opinion is the more appropriate way to express the fact that the key location is at HSM-12345?

Thank you,
Denis
