Creating an *SYSTEM certificate store on TheirCo's system

 

To participate in a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) session, TheirCo's File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client must be able to recognize and accept the certificate that MyCo's FTP server presents. To authenticate the certificate, TheirCo's FTP client must have a copy of the certificate authority (CA) certificate in the *SYSTEM certificate store.

This scenario assumes that Digital Certificate Manager (DCM) has not been previously used to create or manage certificates. Consequently, TheirCo must create the *SYSTEM certificate store by following these steps:

  1. Start IBM® DCM. If you need to obtain or create certificates, or set up or change your certificate system, do so now.

  2. In the DCM navigation frame, select Create New Certificate Store and select *SYSTEM as the certificate store to create and click Continue.

  3. Select No to create a certificate as part of creating the *SYSTEM certificate store and click Continue.

  4. Specify a password for the new certificate store and click Continue to display a confirmation page.

  5. Click OK.
