Question
How do I make required updates to the keystore?
Answer
Following installation of this release, home-directory/.keystore_clearcase files must be deleted and recreated on machines that run
- The ClearCase Remote Client (this client encompasses the CCRC GUI and CLI (rcleartool) interfaces).
- The Change Management Application Program Interface (CMAPI)
This task is unnecessary for the Change Management Integration (CMI) and the Base ClearCase / ClearQuest V2 integration, regardless of whether the remote client (CCRC) or local client (CCLC) is running.
The keystore file is a JKS format keystore that should contain only trusted certificate authorities or trusted self-signed certificates that specify hostnames that match the server hostnames. Use the keytool command (rationalsdlc/common/java-dir/jre/bin/keytool) to update the keystore as follows:
- List the contents of the keystore:
keytool -storetype JKS -keystore .keystore_clearcase -list -storepass rational
- Import a new key (you will be asked to mark it as trusted):
keytool -storetype JKS -keystore .keystore_clearcase -storepass rational -importcert -alias your-alias-name -file pathname-to-CA-root-certificate
NOTE: The ClearCase administrator can create a single keystore file and distribute it as needed.
