Recreating the .kdb keystore internal password record

The i5/OS keystore type IBMi5OSKeyStore does not recognize or generate .sth password stash files. Instead it keeps an internal record of the password for the .kdb keystore file where it is created. If the .kdb file is moved, the password is no longer associated with the keystore. In that case, use the Digital Certificate Manager (DCM) to recreate the internal record of the password for the .kdb keystore file. Refer to the topic Keystore configurations before attempting this task.
