PH39939: DEFAULT TRUST STORE NAME IN THE SSL CONFIGURATION PANEL IS INCORRECT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When creating a new SSL Configuration, NodeDefaultKeyStore
  (CellDefaultKeyStore in ND) is listed as the default "Trust
  store name" (panel found under Security > SSL certificate and
  key management > SSL configurations > {CONFIG_NAME} or New... ).
  Having NodeDefaultTrustStore or CellDefaultTrustStore listed as
  the default trust store would be more logical and would result
  in less accidental misconfigurations.

  ****************************************************************
  When creating a new SSL Configuration the "Trust store name" is
  set to NodeDefaultKeyStore(or CellDefaultKeyStore in ND
  environments)instead of the expected default value,
  NodeDefaultTrustStore(or CellDefaultTrustStore in ND
  environments).
  

Problem conclusion

• The appropriate default trust store name is set for all new SSL
  configurations. The expected default value is at the top of the
  "Trust store names" dropdown list.
  
  The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack
  8.5.5.21 and 9.0.5.10. For more information, see 'Recommended
