Rename .KDB and .RDB files on iSeries B

Because the *SYSTEM certificate store does not exist on iSeries™ B, the administrator of the corporate network will need to rename the iseriesb.kdb and iseriesb.RDB files to DEFAULT.KDB and DEFAULT.RDB, thus using these transferred files as the *SYSTEM certificate store on iSeries B.

  1. In iSeries Navigator, expand iSeries B > File Systems > Integrated File System > Qibm > UserData > ICSS > Cert > Server and verify that the files iseriesb.kdb and iseriesb.RDB are listed in this directory.
  2. On a command line, type wrklnk ('/qibm/userdata/icss/cert/server').
  3. On the Work with Link Objects page, select 7 to rename the iseriesb.kdb file. Press Enter.
  4. On the Rename Object page, enter DEFAULT.KDB in the New Object field. Press Enter.
  5. Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 to rename the iseriesb.RDB file to DEFAULT.RDB.
  6. Verify that these files have been changed by refreshing iSeries Navigator and expanding iSeries B > File Systems > Integrated File System > Qibm > UserData > ICSS > Cert > Server. The DEFAULT.KDB and DEFAULT.RDB files must be listed in the directory.
