RACDCERT ADD support of certificates exported with OpenSSL 3.x

Currently, RACF doesn't support the creation or the display of Certificates with multiple SANs. This is a major weakness. As gskkyman is not a valid replacement and the z/OS PKI can't be used, we create our certificates with OpenSSL. By default, OpenSSL 3.x uses PBKDF2 when exporting the certificate with "openssl pkcs12" command. RACF's RACDCERT ADD doesn't support PBKDF2, so the certificates can't be imported into RACF. Instead, the "openssl pkcs12" must be run with the "-legacy" flag to use algorithm that RACF understands. Even in times of quantum safe computing with z16, RACDCERT should support such algorithm.

Also, IBM itself uses OpenSSL in some of their documentation, for example in the zCX Users Guide.

    Will there be a PTF for z/OS 2.5?

    By the way, RACDCERT ADD fails to import PKCS #12 packages created with recent versions of the the Java keytool too.


    Similar to the openssl -legacy flag, I found a workaround using :

    keytool -J-Dkeystore.pkcs12.legacy -genkeypair  ... (further options here)
