Class i5OSSystemCertificateStoreFile

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<java.io.File>

public class i5OSSystemCertificateStoreFile
extends java.io.File

This class provides a new File implementation which points to the *SYSTEM certificate store file. It provides a mechanism for the user to load the *SYSTEM certificate store without forcing them to know the actual path to the store.

To load the *SYSTEM certificate store into a keystore, first create an i5OSSystemCertificateStoreFile.

From here, the keystore can be loaded in 2 ways:
  • Using an i5OSLoadStoreParameter:
    //create an i5OSSystemCertificateStoreFile
	    File starSystemFile = new i5OSSystemCertificateStoreFile();
	
	 //use that file to create an i5OSLoadStoreParameter   
	    i5OSLoadStoreParameter lsp = new i5OSLoadStoreParameter(starSystemFile, pwd);
	
	 //load the certificate store into a keystore
	    KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("IBMi5OSKeyStore");
	    ks.load(lsp);
  • Using a FileInputStream:
    //create an i5OSSystemCertificateStoreFile
	    File starSystemFile = new i5OSSystemCertificateStoreFile();
	 
	 //create an input stream to the starSystemFile 
     FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(starSystemFile);
	 
	 //load the certificate store into a keystore
	    KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("IBMi5OSKeyStore");
	    ks.load(fis, pwd);
