Using strict authentication for the connection between Identity Audit and the Novell applications it
collects data from can improve data security.

B.1 Creating a Keystore

A keystore can be created using the Java* "keytool" executable, which comes with any JRE*
installation. This keystore holds a public and private keypair that can be used to replace the default
certificate that comes with Identity Audit. There are basic instructions below, but for more info on
keytool, see the Sun* Web site
1 Go to the directory for Java (for example,
/bin
2 Run the following command:
keytool -genkey -alias alias -keystore .keystore
3 Enter a password for the keystore. This password is used when you import the truststore.
4 Enter the following information:
First and last name
Organizational unit
Organization
City or locality
State or province
Two-digit country code
5 Verify the information.
6 Press Enter to use the same password as the keystore password.
A file is created with a private key and corresponding public key (certificate).
.keystore
(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/tooldocs/win32/keytool.html).
$JAVA_HOME/bin
).
