Check Text (C-223811r998380_chk)

Any keys or Certificates must be managed in ICSF or the external security manager and not in UNIX files. From the ISPF Command Shell enter: OMVS enter find / -name *.kdb and find / -name *.jks If any files are present, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-25472r998379_fix)

Define all Keys/Certificates to ICSF or the security database. Remove all .kdb and .jks key files.
