Abstract
Access between a plurality of nodes of the computing environment is controlled by a key server. The key server receives from one node of the plurality of nodes, a request for a shared key, in which the shared key is created for a selected node pair. A determination is made by the key server as to whether the one node is a node of the selected node pair. In one example, the determining checks an alternate name of the one node to determine whether it matches an alternate name associated with the shared key. Based on determining the one node is a node of the selected node pair, the key server provides the shared key to the one node.
