P12 Keyring utility

A graphical Certificate Management utility (available on Windows and AIX platforms) is provided to allow you to create certificate requests, receive and store certificates, and create self-signed certificates. The P12 Keyring utility is provided mainly for platforms that do not have the Certificate Management Utility to create a keyring database with root certificates of self-signed and unknown Certificate Authority certificates. However, it can be used on any Host On-Demand platform. This utility provides system administrators with an easy way to create and deploy an TLS keyring database.

The P12 Keyring utility is written in Java. It obtains a server certificate from a Telnet or an FTP server (or a Redirector) that is configured for TLS. An TLS connection is made to the specified server and TLS port. If the port is not provided, the well-known secure Telnet or FTP port is used. The server's certificate will be extracted and added to the specified p12 file.

Access to the keyring database is password-protected. A password prompt will be given before any of the commands are performed. If the specified keyring file does not exist, it will be created and the password will be stored in the file.

The Host On-Demand TLS support requires the password to be hod. If you are adding a private certificate to the keyring database, another password prompt will be given for the second p12 file.
