How to change DCM *SYSTEM password without GUI interface

  • 1.  How to change DCM *SYSTEM password without GUI interface

    Posted Thu February 20, 2025 04:43 AM

    Hy Champion, i remember that in V5R2M0 there were a command to reset *SYSTEM CA password without DCM gui interface.

    V5R2M0 : CALL QICSS/QYUTRSETPW PARM('/QIBM/USERDATA/ICSS/CERT/SERVER/DEFAULT.KDB')

    is there a way to change it via command in V7R3M0 ? 

    The GUI is broken and they cannot install PTF for HTTP, they are migrating the a new IBMi and they have to import the CA to a new V7R4M0 but also with QMGTOOLS command GETSSL and DCM we need the *SYSTEM CA password. 

    We cannot also save and restore because they already configure CA certificate on new IBM, only export and import . 

    Have a good day.

    Luca - looks like your choices are very limited here

    How to Change the Password to the *System Store in Digital Certificate Manager for i (DCM)

    Perhaps IBM has an undocumented way of doing it - might need to call them and see what your options are.

    Good luck!
