IBM Sterling Connect:Direct : Import C:D certificates on C:D WebService

From Wiki

If you setup Secure+ during the install you need to import certificates from C:D on C:D WebServices


Bellow i provide some common error messages that happens when not configured.

Procedure

Import from C:D keystore to C:D WS Trusted Store - C:D and C:D WebService are in the same machine

I will import from cdkeystore.kdb to trustedkeystore.jks

cd /home/cdadmin02/cdunix/jre/ibm-java-x86_64-80/jre/bin

./ikeycmd -cert -import \
 -db /home/cdadmin02/cdunix/ndm/secure+/certificates/cdkeystore.kdb -pw changeit -label CDInternal \
 -target /opt/MFTWebServices/mftws/BOOT-INF/classes/trustedkeystore.jks -target_pw changeit \
 -new_label CDNODE02-CDInternal

after you can open C:D WebService and check

And you need to change

Tips

Check your configuration

You can check using command

cd /home/cdadmin02/cdunix/etc
./cdcustrpt

check the following in cd.support.rpt

SPCLI> display all;
...
 Name=.Client
 Type=R
 Protocol=(TLS1.2,TLS1.3)
 Override=N
 SecurityMode=DefaultToLN
 AuthTimeout=120
 KeyCertLabel=CDInternal
 ClientAuth=Y
 CipherSuites=(TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,...)

Check

cd /home/cdadmin02/cdunix/jre/ibm-java-x86_64-80/jre/bin/
./ikeycmd -cert -list -db "/home/cdadmin02/cdunix/ndm/secure+/certificates/cdkeystore.kdb" -pw changeit

the output

Certificates in database /home/cdadmin02/cdunix/ndm/secure+/certificates/cdkeystore.kdb:
  CDInternal

The provider for keystore type 'IBMCMSKS' is not available

When i try to run

/opt/MFTWebServices/jre/bin# ./ikeycmd -cert -import ..

The below errors happens

The provider for keystore type 'IBMCMSKS' is not available.

Ensure that the necessary provider JAR file is on the class path or in the ext directory, and that the provider has been added to the java.security file.

you need to have a ikeycmd with IBMCMSKS keystore type. The ikeycmd on C:D has this configured correctly.

Error: Logon failed! Either Certificate or Authority is not configured

check you /home/cdadmin02/cdunix/ndm/cfg/CDNODE02/userfile.cfg for user access
