Re: SSL Keyring file

[Scott Klement <klemscot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In V4R5 the *SYSTEM certificate store (aka keyring) is in
    /QIBM/UserData/ICSS/Cert/Server/DEFAULT.KDB
If you created your own, then it's wherever you put it :)

They used to be "keyring" (i.e. "file.kyr") files in (I think) V4R3, but
were changed to "certificate stores" and "file.kdb".

This is one of the things I didn't like about the SSL APIs...  You
shouldn't have to specify a keyring file.  You should register your app
with the system registry, and then let the DCM assign which certificate
resources you use.  It shouldn't be hardcoded in your programs!  You
should be able to distribute your programs to other people's computers,
and let them assign their own cert resources in DCM.  That's what DCM
is for.

This is fixed with GSKit.  That's one reason that GSKit is better.
