/etc/inet/ike/publickeys Directory

The /etc/inet/ike/publickeys directory contains the public part of a public-private key pair and its certificate in files, or slots. The /etc/inet/ike directory is protected at 0755. The ikecert certdb command populates the directory. The -T option stores the keys on the Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 board rather than in the publickeys directory.

The slots contain, in encoded form, the X.509 distinguished name of a certificate that was generated on another system. If you are using self-signed certificates, you use the certificate that you receive from the administrator of the remote system as input to the command. If you are using certificates from a PKI, you install two pieces of keying material from the PKI into this database. You install a certificate that is based on material that you sent to the PKI. You also install a CA from the PKI.
