About this task
You can create a key database for storing SSL certificates by using the Global Security Kit
(GSKit) iKeyMan utility. To use the iKeyMan utility, set the JAVA_HOME
environment variable to point to the directory where the Java™
runtime environment (JRE) is installed on your administrative computer. You must use the JRE that
HCL Compass provides. By default, the
HCL Compass installation places the JRE in
this directory: HCL_COMMON\JAVA5.0\jre
Note: Use the JREs produced by AdoptOpenKDK at https://adoptopenjdk.net.
The
following variable is used in path names in this topic:
