Issue/Introduction

A certificate created outside of ACF2  is expiring. The cert was renewed and returned as a .pfx file.
Before trying to insert the cert into the database, a CHKCERT was run against the dataset but received an error

CHKCERT DSN('SYSQ.CERT.PFX') PASSWORD(?????)
ACF68033 The password is incorrect for the CERTIFICATE  

Double checked with cert creator and the password is correct.  

Environment

Release : 16.0

Component : ACF2 for z/OS

Resolution

To determine if the problem is with ACF2 CHKCERT or password related,  import the certificate using a web browser certificate wizard.
Either Chrome or Microsoft EDGE can be used.

If the password works then there is a problem with ACF2 and CHKCERT,
If the password fails from the certificate wizard then there is a problem with the certificate file or certificate file's password,
and new certificate should be requested.
