6.6.18.10: The demo keyring

During product installation, you must decide whether or not to check a box labeled "Use demo keyring file." Keyrings are used for certain types of authentication.

If you plan to produce your own keyrings, you do not need to check this check box. If you are not sure, check the box. This way, if you later need the functionality for testing, you'll have it. Your decision for this check box will not affect the overall success of the security installation.

Note   Do not use the demo keyring in production systems. It includes a self-signed certificate for testing purposes, and the private key for this certificate can be obtained easily, which puts the security of all certificates stored in the file at risk. This keyring is intended only for testing purposes.
