There are so many certificates in use at the site I'm at that the security team runs monthly reports to see what is expiring in the next 60 days and they let me know when to get a new one for them. All I do is order via Shopz and send them the "pfx" file along with the passphrase I used in an email. They import it in RACF in a sandbox sysplex first, where I verify it is working and then they do their thing on the other sysplexes. -- Mark Zelden - Zelden Consulting Services - z/OS, OS/390 and MVS mailto:[email protected] Mark's MVS Utilities: http://www.mzelden.com/mvsutil.html Systems Programming expert at http://expertanswercenter.techtarget.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
