PI71340:Update ikeyman/gskcmd wrappers for IBM HTTP Server with Java 8

Download


Abstract

Update ikeyman/gskcmd wrappers for IBM HTTP Server 8.5.5 and 9.0 with embedded Java 8

Download Description

PI71340 resolves the following problem:

ERROR DESCRIPTION:
IBM HTTP Server 8.5.5.11 or higher allow optionally selecting an embedded Java 8 for fresh installs. This java version requires minor changes to the existing ikeyman/gskcmd wrapper scripts to support CMS keystores.

Similar changes were made for version 9.0, where Java 8 is always used.

PROBLEM SUMMARY
Using Java 8 with IBM HTTP Server (IHS) necessitates changes to the ikeyman and gskcmd wrapper scripts in order to maintain support for CMS keystores.

USERS AFFECTED:
IBM HTTP Server V9.0 or V8.5.5 with Java 8 users of ikeyman or gskcmd shipped with IHS

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
ikeyman/gskcmd wrapper scripts need updates to support CMS keystores for IHS 8.5.5 and 9.0 with Java 8

RECOMMENDATION:
Apply this fix if using Java 8 with either IHS 8.5.5 or 9.0

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Pass -DADD_CMS_SERVICE_PROVIDER_ENABLED=true to java certificate management tools to ensure CMS keystores are available without manual configuration under Java 8.0.

This fix is targeted for IBM HTTP Server fix packs:
- 8.5.5.11
- 9.0.0.3
