If you forgot the current key database file password, IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager can help
you to recover it.
Before you begin
You must have system privileges to administer the key database
file password recovery.
About this task
Complete the following steps to recover and update the key
database file password:
Procedure
- Issue the QUERY SSLKEYRINGPW command
to display the current key database password.
- Issue the following command to use the server record of
the key database password to update the password:
SET SSLKEYRINGPW password UPDATE=Y
where password is
the password retrieved by the QUERY SSLKEYRINGPW command.
What to do next
Tip: If the cert.kdb file
does not exist, you can create a new file by restarting the server.
The Tivoli Storage
Manager server
creates a database file with the old password and generates a new
self-signed certificate at startup. If you use self-signed certificates,
you must extract the certificate and install it on a client system.
If you use a vendor-acquired certificate, you must add it back in
the server key database file and restart the server.
