An individualacid can be a member of more than one key ring.LABLRING—Specifies the label to be associated with the keyring being added tothe user.

This allows the administrator to further definethe access that a user has to certain resources. Before a digital certificate can beadded to a key ring, it must have been added to the owner's acid record throughthe TSS ADD DIGICERT command.Note: You cannot add a KEYRING to predefined ACIDS (CERTAUTH orCERTSITE).1–66 Cookbook

Digital Certificate SupportAdding a Certificate to a Key RingThe following syntax shows how to add a digital certificate to a key ring:TSS ADD(acid) KEYRING(8-byte key ring name)[LABLRING(237-byte ring name)]{RINGDATA(acid,digicert)}{RINGDATA(CERTAUTH,digicert)}{RINGDATA(CERTSITE,digicert)}[DEFAULT][USAGE(PERSONAL|CERTAUTH|CERTSITE)]The sub keywords of the KEYRING function specify more detailed informationthat can be added along with KEYRING.KEYRING – The ring name is unique within the user, the name you specify inKEYRING will identify the key ring for a user.LABLRING – Provides the ability to add a 237-character label name to the keyring; can be used as a key to locate a certificate key ring. If not specified, the8-byte KEYRING name is automatically added to the LABLRING.RINGDATA—Specifies the acid and certificate label name (as specified byDIGICERT) of the certificate being added to the user.DEFAULT—Specifies that the certificate is the default certificate for the key ring.This parameter is optional. Only one certificate within the key ring can be thedefault. If a default already exists, its DEFAULT status is removed, and thespecified certificate becomes the default certificate.USAGE—Specifies how this certificate is used with the specified key ring. Thedefault usage is the same as the certificate that is being connected.■■■PERSONAL—Demotes a certificate to ensure that it is not used as acertificate authority in this key ring.CERTAUTH—Promotes an ordinary user certificate to that of a certificateauthority within this key ring.CERTSITE—Promotes an ordinary user certificate to that of a site certificate.Removing a Key ring from an acidTo remove a key ring, use the TSS REMOVE command with the followingsyntax:TSS REMOVE(acid) {KEYRING(8-byte name)|LABLRING(237-byte ring name)}This command also removes all key ring cross references from all acids that havecertificates that were attached to the key ring that is being removed.Implementing eTrust CA-Top Secret in a z/OS or OS/390 Environment 1–67
