"No request key found" error when importing a certificate in DCM

Troubleshooting


Problem

In DCM, importing a server certificate fails with the message: No request key found.

Resolving The Problem

Problem: When importing a server certificate from a third party in DCM, the import fails with the message "No request key is found for the certificate. If you are trying to receive the signed certificate, you must be using the same certificate store that was used when the certificate was requested. If this is a CA certificate, you should use the function for importing a CA."
Solution: This typically means the user is importing a certificate which did not originate from a CSR (Certificate Signer Request) that was created on this system in this store. The only certificate formats that will import on the System i without an outstanding certificate request are IBM System i proprietary format and PKCS#12 (.pfx, .p12) format.
