Is There Backup JCL or Commands for Certificates

Products

• ACF2 - z/OS

Issue/Introduction

Is there a job/command, besides the backup of the ACF2 databases, that will do certificate backups? Management would like this in place (preferably a backup/restore job) so that if production signer/server certificates are deleted, we can get them back with a restore.

Environment

Release : 16.0

Component : CA ACF2 for z/OS

Resolution

If the certificate is a personal certificate with a private key the certificate can be EXPORTed in PKCS12DER or PKCS12B64 format.

If the certificate is a CERTAUTH certificate the certificate can be EXPORTed in CERTDER or CERTB64 format.
