  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Keystore file and configuration get out *
  *                      of sync making it impossible to delete  *
  *                      the keystore entry form the             *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The keystore file and configuration get out of sync,  either the
  keystore file is removed but the keystore object still
  references
  or the keystore object has information that will not load the
  keystore file.  When this happens the deleteKeyStore command
  will
  not remove the keystore entry from the configuration.
  

Problem conclusion

• Change deleteKeyStore command to delete the configuration entry
  there is some kind of problem with accessing the keystore file.
  
  The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack
