  5. Click Continue. You will receive a confirmation message verifying that a server certificate has been created on iSeries A for iSeries B. As the administrator of the network for the branch sales office, you send these files to the administrator at the corporate office through encrypted e-mail. The administrator at the corporate office must now move and rename the certificate store (.KDB) file and the request (.RDB) file to iSeries B. The administrator at the corporate office will need to move these files to the /QIBM/USERDATA/ICSS/CERT/SERVER directory in the integrated file system (IFS) using binary FTP. After that is completed, the administrator must rename these files in the appropriate directory.
