Specifying the default certificate

You can specify a default certificate if more than one personal certificate is stored in the key database. For example, after receiving a server certificate from a CA, you can begin to use the certificate by making it the default.

1. Start iKeyman.
2. From the IBM Key Management window, click Key Database File > Open.
3. From the Open window, specify the file name and location of the key database that contains the certificate you want to set as the default. Then click OK.
4. Type the current key database password in the Password Prompt window and click OK.
   The key database contents are shown in the IBM Key Management window.
5. From the Key database content area, select Personal Certificates from the drop-down list.
6. Select the certificate that you want to set as the default, and then click View/Edit.
   The Key Information window opens. This window provides a summary of the certificate details.
7. Select the Set the certificate as the default check box and click OK.
