    1. Create ~/gdk/ in the user's UNIX home directory. Change the permissions to 700.
    2. Create ~/gdk/providers/ in the user's UNIX home directory. Change the permissions to 700.
    3. Copy /usr/lpp/dfsms/gdk/samples/gdkkeyf.json to ~/gdk/gdkkeyf.json . Change the permissions to 600.
    4. The user may have a local config file in their ~/gdk/ directory. Copy /usr/lpp/dfsms/gdk/samples/gdkconfig.json to ~/gdk/config.json . Change the permissions to 600.
    5. The user may have a local provider file in their ~/gdk/providers/ directory if they want to use a modified provider definition. Copy /usr/lpp/dfsms/gdk/providers/*.jsonto ~/gdk/providers/ and change the permissions to 600.
