APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• With security auditing enabled, when you create an audit
  encryption keystore, the keystore creates fine. Once the
  configuration changes have been saved, you proceed to
  create a self signed certificate. When you fill in
  the required information you receive an error message
  saying that the keystore file could not be located within
  the wstemp directory. The path shown in the error message is
  wrong as it is missing a slash.
