5.5.6.2: The IBM Key Management tool

WebSphere provides a graphical tool, the IBM Key Management tool (iKeyman) for managing keys and certificates. The graphical tool is easier to use than the command-line tools, which makes it ideal for occasional or casual use.

Using the tool

To start the iKeyman tool:

  1. Move to the product_installation_root/bin directory.
  2. Issue one of the following commands:
    • On Windows systems:
      ikeyman
    • On Unix systems:
      ikeyman.sh

The iKeyman window appears as shown below.
