5.5.6: Tools for managing certificates and keys

WebSphere Application Server, Advanced Edition provides utilities for managing certificates and keys:

  • A graphical tool, called iKeyman, the IBM Key Management tool.
  • The standard Java command-line tool, keytool.

The graphical tool is easier to use than the command-line tools, which makes it ideal for occasional or casual use. However, command-line tools support scripting of certificate management, which is useful for administrators who do a lot of this work or who want to automate the work.
