You can display a list of trusted certificate authorities
within a key database.
About this task
A trusted certificate authority issues and manages public
keys for data encryption. A key database is used to share public keys
that are used for secure connections.
To display a list of trusted
certificate authorities (CAs) in a key database, complete the following
steps:
What to do next
When the
<ihsinst>/java/jre/lib/ext/gskikm.jar file
has not been removed, the version of iKeyman that is provided by the
bundled Java Runtime Environment (JRE) does
not add a default list of signer certificates to newly-created key
databases. Add default signer certificates in iKeyman, as follows:
- Select Signer Certificates from the drop-down
menu in the iKeyman window.
- Click the "Populate" on the right-hand side of the iKeyman window.
- Click the grey boxes next to the certificate authority names (Entrust,
RSA Data Security, Thawte, Verisign) so they display as checked.
- Click OK.
