DELETE KEYRING (Delete password information in the key database)

Use this command to delete the password information in the Tivoli® Storage Manager database for the key database (cert.kdb).

This command is needed when the SSLTCPPORT or SSLTCPADMINPORT options are in use and the cert.kdb file has been lost or is not recoverable. If the cert.kdb file does not exist and there is no entry in the database for its password, Tivoli Storage Manager automatically generates a new self-signed certificate in a replacement cert.kdb file at server startup. The administrator then distributes the new public key (that is, the corresponding cert.arm file) to the clients that are using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

If the password information is lost after it was updated outside of the server, use this command to delete the key database file information from the server database. You can also delete cert.* files from the server instance directory. When the server is restarted, it regenerates the cert.kdb file.

Privilege class

To issue this command, you must have system privilege.
