Understanding the PSKeyManager Utility

PSKeyManager is a command-line utility delivered with PeopleTools that you use to generate and import digital certificates into the keystore. The location of the PSKeyManager utility is:

<PIA_HOME>\webserv\peoplesoft\piabin

The basic syntax of PSKeyManager is:

pskeymanager -command

Note:

The first time you launch a command using the PSKeyManager utility you are prompted to define a unique keystore password.

Each command can be followed by a variety of options. Both the command and the keyword for each option that you invoke with it must be preceded by a hyphen, and most options must be followed by a value.

When you navigate to the PSKeyManager utility, start it with the command pskeymanager and hit the Enter key, a list of all commands and their options is displayed. The PSKeyManager utility provides ten or so commands, but you'll use only two of the options for this task:

pskeymanager -create
pskeymanager -import

Note:

The pskeymanager -create command supports the Subject Alternate Name (SAN) attribute, which allows you to specify more than one host name, IP address, or other value for a single SSL certificate.
