Create digital certificates, Part 3: Create test digital certificates

Summary:  This demo first shows you how to obtain a real root certificate from a certification authority. Then you'll see how to create a certification request in the new key database file using the IBM Key Management tool (Ikeyman). That request is sent to the certification authority to obtain a trial digital certificate that is installed in the key database file, or keystore, using Ikeyman. Finally, the keystore is open in Ikeyman where you can review the certificate contents. This demo is the third in a three part series. Parts 1 and 2 showed how to use Ikeyman and the JDK's Keytool utility to create self-signed digital certificates.
