Actually, I thbought I remembered seeing this documented somewhere. It's in the MQ Security manual (p 47 in the edition I have) under SSL Support where it ralks about the SSL key respository. It says the key databse must have a file extension .kdb

Here's what I used for mine and it worked (gsk at 6.0.5.39); the file extension looks like the only real difference: gsk6cmd -keydb -create -db $dbdir/key.kdb -type cms -stash I'd agree about the doc. It's not too bad (I guess) if you have a gui (at least, there are lots of pictures), but the line command doc leaves a bit to the imagination. -- Rebecca -----Original Message----- From: Kleinmanns, Hubert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2004 9:58 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: AW: "Invalid key database type was found" V5.3 CSD05 SSL gsk6cmdfailed for -type cms GSKit V6.0.5.43 Solaris 2.8 Hi Raj, I strongly recommend, to follow the quick beginnings document. Be sure, that the prerequisites for SSL support are installed.

Here is what I am trying to do- Env: Sun Solaris V 2.8 MQ Series V5.3 CSD with mqm-upd05 U487899 GSKit Info: (#)ProductName: gsk6e (GoldCoast Build) 0406171803 @(#)ProductVersion: 6.0.5.43 @(#)ProductInfo: 04/06/15.00:00:28.04/06/17.18:11:04 @(#)CMVCInfo: gsk6e_040615/gsk6e_ikm gsk6e_040615/gsk6e_ssl gsk6e_040615/gsk6e_support gsk6e_040615/gsk6e_cms NOTE: All the required Solaris patches mentioned in memo.ptf is in place.

JAVA_HOME=/opt/mqm/ssl Problem: Creation of Key database of type "cms" failed: $gsk6cmd -keydb -create -db keys -pw passw0rd -type cms -expire 3660 -stash Invalid key database type was found. Other Things Tried (to prove that I am trying my best to get this thing to work) a. Able to create keydb of type "jks" - Proves that GSKit is installed and works b. Used -covert option to convert the "jks" db to "cms" type. To see if the -create option only has this problem. But, it failed giving the same error too. "Invalid key database type was found." Anyone has tried and succeeded in doing this - please provide some pointer as to what is wrong. IBM documentation on GSKit is bare minimum... Thank you.
