Export a copy of MyCo's local Certificate Authority certificate to a file

MyCo must provide TheirCo with a copy of the local Certificate Authority (CA) certificate. TheirCo's client application must be configured to trust the CA certificate before it can participate in an Secure Socket Layer (SSL) session.

MyCo uses the following steps to export a copy of the local CA certificate to a file:

Start DCM.
Click Select a Certificate Store.
Select *SYSTEM as the certificate store to open and click Continue.
When the Certificate Store and Password page displays, provide the password that was specified for the certificate store when it was created, and click Continue.
After the navigation frame refreshes, select Manage Certificates, and then select the Export certificate task.
Select Certificate Authority (CA) and click Continue to display a list of CA certificates.
Select the MyCo local CA certificate from the list and click Export.
Specify File as the export destination and click Continue.
Specify a fully qualified path and file name for the exported Local CA certificate and click Continue to export the certificate.
Click OK to exit the Export confirmation page.

Now you can transfer these files to the iSeries™ endpoint systems on which you intend to verify signatures that you created with the certificate. You can use e-mail or FTP to transfer the files since they do not need to be sent securely.
