New Adds a new key store object that can be referenced by SSL configurations or KeySets. The KeyStore management scope is based on the part of the topology tree from which it was created.
Delete Deletes an existing key store. The key store should not be referenced by any other parts of the configuration before you delete it.
Exchange signers Refers to exchanging signers in a key store. You can select two key stores, along with personal certificates from a selected key store, then add them as a signer to another selected key store.

Name

Unique name that is used to identify the key store. This name is typically scoped by the ManagementScope scopeName and based upon the location of the key store. The name must be unique within the existing key store collection.
This is a user-defined name.

Path

Location of the key store file in the format needed by the key store type. This file can be a card-specific configuration file for cryptographic devices or a filename or file URL for file-based key stores. It can be a safkeyring URL for RACF keyrings.
