Tools Installing SSL certificate on AIX
Hello,

I am new in UNIX, and some one asks me to install SSL certificates to allow exchange with an external system.

Can someone tell how to install certificate (ex : verisignxxx.cer) on a UNIX server?

Many thanks.

Moved to AIX subforum.

You can use gsk7cmd to store/handle certificates.
There is also ikeyman from the Java SDK:
Code:
root@litterbox:/> lslpp -w `which ikeyman`
  File                                        Fileset               Type
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  /usr/java5_64/jre/bin/ikeyman               Java5_64.sdk          File

I used gsk7cmd it to handle SSL in conjunction with LDAP taken from this Redbook:
IBM Redbooks | Integrating AIX into Heterogeneous LDAP Environments

Checkout the topic about SSL in it maybe.
gsk packages are:

Code:
  gsksa.rte                  7.0.3.3  COMMITTED  AIX Certificate and SSL Base
  gskta.rte                  7.0.3.3  COMMITTED  AIX Certificate and SSL Base

Thanks zaxxon,

Smilie
I tried several syntax for example

gsk7cmd -cert -add -file verisignC3CCCA.cer
the system replied

A database/file name must be supplied on the command line or in a properties file.

do you have an example of sample? the db is called QE3.

Thanks

As I said you should have a look into the SSL part of the Redbook I linked. Basically you have to create a SSL keystore/DB 1st, then you import your certificates etc.

Ah misread - your command seems incomplete. I only know it by that way that you tell the command the path to your SSL keystore/DB and usually have to supply a password to access it.
But that's also in the Redbook ^^

OK, that works fine with the example in the red book.

Thanks.
