IV74620: KEYTOOL FAILS WHILE LAUNCHING IT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error Message: Error: Could not find or load main class
  sun.security.tools.keytool.Main
  .
  Stack Trace: None
  .
  

Local fix

• Use com.ibm.crypto.tools.KeyTool as main class for keytool in
  IBM JDK.
  

Problem summary

• keytool fails while launching it
  

Problem conclusion

• The reason is that the latest build uses autoconfig to build
  jdk. For keytool, it uses sun.security.tools.keytool.Main as
  main class which is just the sams as OpenJDK. However the class
  doesn't exist in IBM JDK. We should use ibm security class for
  keytool in IBM JDK.
  .
  This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases:
     8    SR2       (8.0.2.0)
  .

  IBM JDK.
