The Java command
line interface to IKEYMAN, gskcapicmd, provides the
necessary options to create and manage keys, certificates and certificate
requests. The native utility /bin/gskcapicmd is
always preferred over /bin/gskcmd. gskcapicmd is
faster and some features are added to gskcapicmd before gskcmd
To have a secure network connection, create a key for
secure network communications and receive a certificate from a certificate
authority (CA) that is designated as a trusted CA on your server.
Use gskcapicmd
, the utility command line interface,
for configuration tasks that are related to public and private key
creation and management.
The gskcapicmd
user
interface uses Java and native
command line invocation, enabling IKEYMAN task scripting.
You
cannot use gskcapicmd
for configuration options
that update the server configuration file, httpd.conf.
For options that update the server configuration file, use the IBM® HTTP Server administration server.
