PQ47781: INSTALLATION DOCUMENTATION SHOULD CLEARLY STATE THAT DUMMYKEYRING IS NOT TO BE USED IN PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENTS.


APAR

APAR status
Closed as documentation error.

Error description
WebSphere install documentation does not mention why you would
not want to use the demo key when doing the install.  It should
mention that IBM does not recommend using the demo key in a
production environment.  The install doc states that if you do
not want your own key then use the default one.
Local fix
Include documentation in the install guides that state what
the demo key is used for and why IBM does not recommend using
the demo key in a production environment, then point them to
the information in the InfoCenter on how to create your own key.
Problem summary
Install files now state:
.
If you do not need special key ring files, click
Next to take the default key ring files and to
move to the Product Directory dialog. Note
that if you are using WebSphere Application
Server in a production environment, you should
generate your own unique key ring file after
installation. The default key ring file is available
to all customers and thus is insecure.
