Issue/Introduction

Description:

For IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager for z/OS (ISKLM) Keyring/Certificates, there are three options for Keyring/Certificate setup::

  1. Generating a self-signed certificate
  2. Generating a certificate signed by an Internal Certificate Authority
  3. Generating a certificate signed by a third-party certificate authority

Solution:

The following batch job that covers the three options for setting up Keyrings and certificates for IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager for z/OS (ISKLM). There are three jobs steps for each option, sites can just run the job step that covers the option desired.

//* 1) Please read through the comments carefully before              
//*    running this job to determine what commands will be            
//*    needed to setup your own customized environment. 
//*    All occurrences of 'UID string for ISKLMSRV logonid'
//*    should be changed to the UID string for logonid ISKLMSRV.             
//*                                                                   
//* 2) All steps have been coded with PGM=IKJEFT01.

//* 3) All steps should finish with a return code of zero.            
//*
