Setting your system environment for using IKEYMAN

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 [Linux]

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.
