Create a Keystore for the Certificate

After you extracted an SSL certificate, you create a keystore for the certificate to be able to use the IBM® Cognos® PowerPlay® Server Batch Administration utility.

Procedure

  1. Go to the installation_location\bin\jre\version\bindirectory.
  2. Type the following command:

    keytool.exe -import -file installation_location\bin\cacert.cer -keystore installation_location\webapps\utilities\ppadmtool\MyKeyStore -storepass password -alias ibmcognos_alias

Results

The key store file, MyKeyStore, is created in the installation_location\webapps\utilities\ppadmtool directory. You can now modify the parameters for the batch administration utility.
