Receiving a Requested Certificate

After the certificate authority has created a certificate, you must save this certificate to a file that is accessible by the gskkyman utility. Typically, this means you have to save the CA certificate as an HFS file.

See the following copy of a certificate:

Procedure

  1. Enter the key manager program gskkyman and select the key database that you want to use.
  2. From the Key database menu, you can select option 4 to Receive a certificate issued for your request. You are then prompted for information about the certificate.
  3. Enter the name of the file where you created the certificate.
    If you do not enter a file name, the system uses the default file name cert.arm. 
    Enter certificate file name or press ENTER for "cert.arm":
  4. Respond to the prompt as to whether to set the key as the default in your key database.
    Do you want to set the key as the default in your key database? (1=yes, 0=no):

    If you select yes, this certificate becomes the default certificate for this key database. You can then specify the GLOBAL SSL_DNLABEL parameter as NULL and the platform server uses the default certificate for the key database.

    The following message is displayed indicating that the key manager is processing the request.

    Please wait while certificate is stored...

Result

When the request is completed, the following message is displayed. You can continue processing by entering 0, or terminate by entering 1.
