1.1.7.3.2.5 Key File Generation

A new command is added to wsadmin to manage the key file. This new command is used to generate new key file, add new record, delete existing record, and modify record. The name of the file it managed is "saml_key.meta" in the current working directory.

To create the key file issues the following wsadmin command:

saml create -p password

Where the "-p password" is for the administrative password to access the newly created key file. A key file with name "saml_key.meta" is created in the current working directory.

To add a trusted issuer, input the following command:

saml add -i -n authority.abc.com -l abc -c -p password

Where "-i" tells it to add an issuer with name "authority.abc.com" with short local reference name "abc" and the access password to access the key file. The key file saml_key.meta" must exist in current working directory. Since "-c" option is given, a public key certificate named "abc.pem" must exist in the "CertPath".
