Use this procedure to create digital certificate for System B.

1. In the left navigation pane, click Create Certificate and select Server or client certificate for another iSeries.

2. Click Continue.

3. On the Create Server or Client Certificate for another iSeries™ page, select V5R3. This is the release level for System B. Click Continue.

4. On the Create a Server or Client Certificate page, enter the following information:

   • Key size: 1024

   • Certificate label: corporatecert

   • Certificate store path and filename: /tmp/systemb.kdb

   • Certificate store password: secret2

   • Confirm password: secret2

     All passwords that are used in this scenario are for example purposes only. Do not use these passwords in any actual configuration.

   • Common name: corporatecert

   • Organization name: MyCo, Inc

   • State or province: wis

   • Country or region: us

   • IP version 4 address: 172.16.1.3

     IP addresses used in this scenario are meant for example purposes only. They do not reflect an IP addressing scheme and should not be used in any actual configuration. You should use your own IP addresses when completing these tasks.

   • Fully qualified host name: systemb.myco.wis.com

   • E-mail address: administrator@myco.wis.com

5. Click Continue. You will receive a confirmation message verifying that a server certificate has been created on System A for System B. As the administrator of the network for the branch sales office, you send these files to the administrator at the corporate office through encrypted e-mail. The administrator at the corporate office must now move and rename the certificate store (.KDB) file and the request (.RDB) file to System B. The administrator at the corporate office will need to move these files to the /QIBM/USERDATA/ICSS/CERT/SERVER directory in the integrated file system using binary FTP. After that is completed, the administrator must rename these files in the appropriate directory.
