Host key document verification fails

If verification of the host key document fails, read what the problem might be and what you can do.

About this task

Commands that verify the host key document might fail due to:
  • An expired document, for example the genprotimg command issues the error:

    Failed to verify host-key document: '<host_key_document.crt>': validity period is not valid

  • A invalid combination of host key document and certificates, for example the genprotimg command issues the error:

    Failed to verify host-key document: '<path_to_certificate>': no IBM Z signing key that issued this host-key document found

If the host key document has expired, you need to obtain a new document.
