This Method connects instances of SecurityGroupType to this PubSubKeyPushTarget. This indicates that the SKS shall use the push model to distribute the keys of the SecurityGroup to the PubSubKeyPushTarget.

The SKS shall push keys following this assignment. If an assignment does already exist, the entry is ignored.

If the assignment for a SecurityGroup already exists, a Good_EntryReplaced should be returned for that SecurityGroup and a new push of the existing keys shall be triggered to the push target.

The Client shall be authorized to modify the configuration for the SKS functionality and shall use at least a signed communication channel when invoking this Method on the Server.
