Verifying that the DOORS certificate keys are up to date
Security authorization requires up-to-date certificate keys. You can verify the
expiration date of the evaluation certificates that are installed with IBM® Engineering Requirements
Management DOORS®
(DOORS).
About this task
Important: Do not use the sample certificates for
secure connections in production environments.
To use the certificates that come with DOORS:
- Set the database server host name to IBMEDSERV
- Set DOORS
clients to connect to IBMEDSERV
When you start the database server and client software for other certificates, use the -keydb and -certName parameters.
Procedure
To validate that the evaluation certificates are not expired, use the GSKit function:
- To set the path, enter the path command for your environment: PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\gsk8\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\gsk8\lib
- To identify the client certificate expiration, enter this command: gsk8capicmd -cert -list -db "<DOORS_install_dir>\certdb\client_authentication.kdb" -pw cli123 -expiry
- To identify the server certificate expiration, enter this command: gsk8capicmd -cert -list -db "<DOORS_install_dir>\certdb\server_authentication.kdb" -pw ser123 -expiry
