I am trying to do a GENCERT of a Personal certificate with the SIGNWITH parameter and I am getting error message 'ACF68028 ERROR RETRIEVING SIGNWITH CERTIFICATE', what causes this?

Environment

Release:
Component: ACF2MS

Resolution

If the signing certificate is not a CERTAUTH or SITECERT certificate, or if the GENCERT is not being done by the signing certificate's owner the Error 'ACF68028 ERROR RETRIEVING SIGNWITH CERTIFICATE' message will be issued.

The SIGNWITH parameter requires a value in the format CERTAUTH.RECORDID, CERTAUTH LABEL(value), SITECERT.RECORDID, SITECERT LABEL(value) or (Label(label-name)). If CERTAUTH or SITECERT are not specified, Label must be specified and the label will identify the user certificate that will sign the new certificate. The user id associated with the label is the user generating the certificate.

For example:

Logon to TSO using loginid USER002, issue the GENCERT:

GENCERT USER002.CERT1 SUBJ(CN='cnName'                                
    OU='deptName' O='Company Name' C=xx)  
   LABEL(ABCCA CA) KEYSIZE(2,048)
