iKeyman "certificate request" not shown in the .kdb
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
Using the iKeyman utility, you can generate a "certificate request" to be sent to a "certificate authority" (CA). The CA will use this information to generate a certificate to be used by the requester. However, you may be unable to see this certificate request.
 
Cause
If you transfer the .kdb (key database) file from one machine to another, you may be unable to see the certificate request if you forget to transfer the associated .rdb (request database) file with it.
 
Solution
When a certificate request is generated, the request data and the generated private and public keys are saved in the rdb (that is, in a file of the same name, with an extension of .rdb) until the certificate is received. When the certificate response is processed, the request data in the rdb is destroyed and the certificate, along with private key, are added to the kdb.
