Generate a keystore

Generate a keystore to store the certificates used by Database Security server.

You can generate a new keystore using the keytool executables. After installing the Database Security server, you can find the keytool executable at:

For Database Security server 4.6.6 and later — <Server install root>\McAfee\McAfee Database Security\java\zulu_jre8_0_181\bin\keytool.exe
For Database Security server 4.6.5 and earlier — <Server install root>\McAfee\McAfee Database Security\java\jre6\bin\keytool.exe
For Database Security server - <Server install root>\McAfee\Trellix Database Security\java\zulu8.70.0.23-ca-jre8.0.372-win\bin\keytool.exe

Example: C:\Program Files\McAfee\Trellix Database Security\java\zulu8.70.0.23-ca-jre8.0.372-win\bin\keytool.exe

For more information about the keytool utility, see: Keytool.
