Step 1. Create the Keystore File

To create a keystore file, use the keytool utility available in Java version 1.6 or later.

Locate the keytool utility in one of the following directories:

%JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin

Java\bin

directory of the Informatica Services installation directory

Run the keytool utility with the genkey option using the following syntax:

keytool –genkey –alias <KeystoreAlias> -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 –keystore <KeystorePathFileName>

For example, run the following command:

keytool –genkey –alias admintool  -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 –keystore admintool.keystore

Enter the keystore password, organizational information, and key password as prompted by the utility.

For the CN option, enter the host name of the gateway node. The example in this article uses the host name cax164796.

After you enter all information, keytool creates a keystore file with the name and location that you specify.

To view the contents of the keystore file, run the keytool utility with the list option using the following syntax:

keytool –list –v –alias <KeystoreAlias> –keystore <KeystorePathFileName>

For example, run the following command:

keytool –list –v –alias admintool –keystore admintool.keystore
