Has anyone been able to configure an application to use an EFS filesystem and load the encryption keys automatically upon application startup? I have searched IBM redbooks and IBM System Mag articles and none provide any guidlines. The idea is to have an encrypted DocumentRoot for the http server for storing user uploaded files.

The only way I can do this right now is by manually loading the keys in a shell (efskeymgr -o ksh, which prompts for store passwrd), then starting the server. I need to be able to do this from a script without any interactive prompts. I could probably do something with expect to process efs keystore password prompt, but there must be a better way to do this.
(I have not tried to call support yet about this...). Any ideas?

actually looks like there is a flag for specifying a keystore password so I think I answered my own question

I am same boat, can you please give more details as to what you did to resolve.

We r trying to implement EFS on a filesystem that stores some important data but the filesystem need to be able to backup data and create files.
