Verifying GSKit on AIX and Linux

Verify the GSKit installation to confirm whether the installation was successful.

About this task

After the GSKit installation, you must ensure that the packages are at the required level. You can query the version number of GSKit.

Procedure

Access a command prompt, and run the following command

Operating system	Command to run:
AIX®	`/opt/IBM/ldap/V11.0.1/bin/gsk9certutil_64 -version /opt/IBM/ldap/V11.0.1/bin/gsk9certutil -version`
Linux™	`/opt/ibm/ldap/V11.0.1/bin/gsk9ver_64 /opt/ibm/ldap/V11.0.1/bin/gsk9ver`

The output of the gsk9ver or gsk9ver_64 command lists version information for multiple GSKit and ICC libraries. Libraries provided by IBM Global Security Toolkit typically display a version such as 9.0.0.8, while ICC libraries might show different version numbers. If version information is shown for these components, the GSKit installation is valid.

AIX:
```
/opt/IBM/ldap/V11.0.1/bin/gsk9certutil_64 -version
/opt/IBM/ldap/V11.0.1/bin/gsk9certutil -version
```
Linux:
```
/opt/IBM/ldap/V11.0.1/bin/gsk9certutil_64 -version
/opt/IBM/ldap/V11.0.1/bin/gsk9certutil -version
```
Note:
On most modern Linux systems, only the 64-bit utilities (gsk9certutil_64, gsk9ver_64) are installed by default because 32-bit runtime support is typically not available. When you run the 32-bit commands (gsk9certutil, gsk9ver), you might see errors such as:

GLPWRP002E The program gsk9certutil is not installed or could not be found. GLPWRP002E The program gsk9ver is not installed or could not be found.

This behavior is expected and does not indicate a problem with the GSKit installation.

Running the gsk9certutil or gsk9certutil_64 -version command displays version information for the GSKit certificate utility. The output confirms that the utility is part of IBM Global Security Toolkit and typically shows a version such as 9.0.0.8. If version information is displayed, the GSKit tools are installed and accessible.
