Hi

I am getting SSL Handshake error while starting the SVRCONN channel. I have checked it has been configured same SSLCIPH for both SVRCONN and CLNTCONN channels.

I have lost the password of KDB file to retrieve the SSL exipy date and key label used for the Signed certificate.

Could any one help me in getting the lost password or change the password to new one please?

The password for the kdb file is store in the sth file. There is a command that allows one to "hack" the kdb file and get the password (I wont reveal that in an open forum). It therefore very import that you keep the sth file very secure.

Perhaps you can try opening a PMR and send the key store to IBM customer support. They might be able to help you with this.

If you don't have the password in a safe, you can try following:
Exporting the store to a different format and reexporting to kdb CMS format by giving a new password then stashing it.

If that does not work, you're good to create a new kdb file.
New private key, new certs, the whole shebang...

Have fun
