The IBM® i keystore
type IBMi5OSKeyStore does not recognize or generate .sth password
stash files. Instead it keeps an internal record of the password for the .kdb keystore
file where it is created. If the .kdb file is moved, the password
is no longer associated with the keystore. In that case, you must use the
Digital Certificate Manager (DCM) to recreate the internal record of the password
for the .kdb keystore file.
About this task
To recreate the internal record of the password for the .kdb keystore
file, start the DCM. For more information, see the Digital Certificate Manager
information.
Procedure
- Click Select a Certificate Store.
- Select Other System Certificate Store.
- Enter the certificate store path and filename.
- Enter the certificate store password.
- Click Continue.
- In the left hand panel, select Manage Certificate Store.
- Click Change password.
- Enter the new password and confirm it. Note that DCM
requires a different password than the one you specified in step 4.
- Select Automatic login.
- Click Continue.
- Click OK when a message displays that confirms that the
password is changed.
- Repeat steps 1 through 5 to create the internal record of the
new password for the .kdb keystore file.
- Repeat steps 1 through 12 to change the password back to the original
password and to create the internal record of the original password for the .kdb keystore
file.
Results
You have recreated the internal record of the password for the .kdb keystore
file.
