Installing PKI Services

Your MVS™ programmer uses SMP/E to install PKI Services into a file system directory. By default, PKI Services is installed in the /usr/lpp/pkiserv directory but the MVS programmer can determine whether to change the default for this and other directories. Before your team begins installing and configuring prerequisite products and setting up PKI Services, you need to know which file system directories were used so you can customize the installation process.

Table 1 shows each file system variable with its description and default value. Your MVS programmer should review the rightmost column of this table, crossing out any defaults that have changed and recording the correct directory names.
Table 1. File system directory variables
