This topic provides detailed information on tasks that
you can perform using the IBM Key Management utility (IKEYMAN). This
information does not explain how to configure security options that
require updates to the server configuration file.
Before you begin
Ensure that the required compat-libstdc++
package exists for your operating system architecture. For more information,
see the installation and verification information for Linux packages.
About this task
The IKEYMAN user interface is Java-based and uses the Java
support that is installed with IBM HTTP Server.
IBM HTTP Server V6.1 installs a Java virtual machine
(JVM) for IKEYMAN. Using IKEYMAN with a JVM, other than the one installed
by IBM HTTP Server is not supported.
If you are unable to open
IKEYMAN, take the following actions:
Procedure
Rename and move the $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/gskikm.jar file
to a directory that is not visible to the JDK class path, extdirs,
or bootclasspath. For example, on Linux platforms: mv $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/gskikm.jar to /gskfiles/gskikm.jar.org
What to do next
Installing unlimited strength JCE policy files (optional). You
may experience a certificate problem when you open a certificate that
has a key with a higher level of cryptography than your policy files
permits.
