This article describes how to create a new key database
and open an existing key database.
About this task
A
key database is a file that the server uses to store
one or more key pairs and certificates. You can use one key database
for all your key pairs and certificates, or create multiple databases.
What to do next
You can add a default list of signer certificates to your
new database using the following instructions. The version of iKeyman
that is provided by the bundled Java Runtime
Environment (JRE) does not add a default list of signer certificates
to newly-created key databases. Add default signer certificates in
iKeyman, as follows:
- Select Signer Certificates from the drop-down menu in the
iKeyman window.
- Click the "Populate" on the right-hand side of the iKeyman window.
- Click the grey boxes next to the certificate authority names (Entrust,
RSA Data Security, Thawte, Verisign) so they display as checked.
- Click OK.
