You need to perform this task only if you are configuring PKI Services for the first time or adding a new CA domain.

Before you begin

Replace the following default values (used in the command examples) with values appropriate for your configuration:
Default value Your value
PKISRVD Use your daemon value in Table 1.
'pkisrvd.webroot.derbin' Use your export_dsn value in Table 1.
/var/pkiserv Guideline: Use your ca_domain value from Table 1 to qualify the directory location if you are adding a new CA domain. For example, /var/pkiserv/employees.

Procedure

Perform the following steps to set up a UNIX directory and copy certain files that PKI Services needs into that directory:
  1. Change ownership of the directory to the user ID of the PKI Services daemon by entering the following command from the UNIX command line:
    Example:
    chown PKISRVD /var/pkiserv

    _______________________________________________________________

  2. Copy the Web Server root certificate from its MVS™ data set to cacert.der in the /var/pkiserv directory by entering the following command from the UNIX command line:
    Example:
    cp "//'pkisrvd.webroot.derbin'" /var/pkiserv/cacert.der

    _______________________________________________________________

  3. Change the permission settings of the file by entering the following command from the UNIX command line:
    Example:
    chmod 644 /var/pkiserv/cacert.der

    _______________________________________________________________

  4. Change the ownership of the file by entering the following command from the UNIX command line:
