Local fix
The workaround to list all the certificates in the chain in Java 8 PKCS12 keystore similar to Java7, is to either import or convert the keystore. This will add signers as seperate aliases (with X500 subject DN of the certificate as alias). ikeycmd -cert -import -db <dbName> -pw <password> -target <new dbName> -target_type <db type> -label <cert alias> -target_pw <target password> or >ikeycmd -keydb -convert -db <dbName> -pw <password> -target <same or new dbName> -new_format <db type>
Problem summary
According to the problem report, customer compared ikeycmd on both Java 7 and Java8. The ikeycmd on Java 7 showed all certificates in the chain, from leaf to parent, But the one on Java 8 only showed the leaf certificate. The problem is, in IBM Java 7, PKCS12 was implemented to auto generate signer aliases for personal certificates. In Java 8, as PKCS12 implementation was closely aligned with Oracle and other PKCS12 providers, it was changed to not auto generate signer aliases. This resulted in difference in keystore entries between Java 7 and Java 8 for PKCS12 keystore.
Problem conclusion
To fix this issue, iKeyman/iKeycmd has provided 1. a workaround to list all the certificates in certificate chain similar to Java 7 and 2. a solution to validate the personal certificate with missing root or intermediate certificates by retrieving the signer certificate from certificate chain in certificate's key entry in the keystore. . This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases: 8 SR5 FP35 (8.0.5.35) 7 SR10 FP45 (7.0.10.45) 7 R1 SR4 FP45 (7.1.4.45) .
