Classification: Confidential

SSL keys (contained in the cert) are text strings. Text transfer should fix the 
problem.

Subject: Importing x.509 Certs in to RACF

I’m attempting to import an x.509 cert for TLS.  The certificate is valid and 
originates on a distributed system.  I have the cert and the private key.  I’m 
trying to import the cert into RACF.  I’ve tried creating a pfx file (pkcs12) 
as well as importing the text based certs individually.  Each time I try I end 
up with an error.  The below was my attempt to import the DigiCertCA against 
which my certificate was created.  I admit this is not my area of speciality so 
I suspect I’m doing something stupid.  Here is the ADD command.

RACDCERT ADD(IBMUSER.CERT.DIGICERT)   CERTAUTH    TRUST    
WITHLABEL('DigiCertCA’)

IRRD103I An error was encountered processing the specified input data set.

The certificate is in ISO8859-1 on my Mac and I transfer it to USS as binary 
and tag is as ISO8859-1.

Anyone have a workflow for adding a TLS cert ?   The IBM documentation is 
accurate I’m sure  but not helpful.
