Key database name
- 1-64 case-sensitive characters
- Each directory or file must begin with one or more adjacent forward slashes
- Every character after the last forward slash must be alphanumeric or > + & ! $ - / | _ < ? ` : # @ % ' " ~ { } [ ] \ * ( ) , . =
- HFS file names can be concatenated, as long as they do not exceed 64 characters
Create this file using the z/OS shell-based program, gskkyman. When running gskkyman:
- Enter option 1, create a new data base. You'll be prompted to enter a new database name. Use a filename of your choice and follow the convention of using the file extension of .kdb.
- Once the database has been created, enter option 1 to continue and create the password stash file.
- Enter option 11, store encrypted database password. The password stash file is created with the same name as the data base, with an extension of .sth.
Enter the key database name and extension on the panel. The TN3270 server can locate the stash file since it has the same file name.
When you are done, ensure you have created 2 files:
- the data base name with a file extension of .kdb
- the stash file with a file extension of .sth
