CICS Transaction Gateway V5 The WebSphere ... - IBM Redbooks

genkey Generates a key pair and wraps the public key into a
self-signed certificate.
alias Stores the self-signed certificate and private key in a new
keystore entry identified by ITSO.
dname Specifies the X.500 distinguished name to be associated with
the alias. This is used as the issuer and subject fields of the
self-signed certificate. The distinguished name consists of a
number of fields separated by commas.
keystore The keystore location.
keypass The password used to protect the private key.
storepass The password used to protect the integrity of the keystore.
keyalg Specifies the algorithm to be used to generate the key pair.
The keytool we used generated a self-signed certificate and private key using
a distinguished name that specified the same information as our System SSL
certificate request. The values we used for each field are listed in Table 8-4 on
page 188. We specified the RSA algorithm to generate our key pair. We
specified the same password for both the keystore and the private key.
3. To see the self-signed certificate we had created, we used the keytool
command in Example 8-7 to invoke the Key Management Tool to list the
contents of the keystore. We used the -v parameter to show all details of the
certificate in the keystore. Example 8-7 shows that the keystore has one entry
and our certificate is owned by the same distinguished name as it is issued
by.
