Abstract:  Update ikeyman/gskcmd wrappers for IBM HTTP Server 8.5.5 and    9.0 with embedded Java 8

Description/symptom of problem:  
PI71340 resolves the following problem:

ERROR DESCRIPTION:                                              
IBM HTTP Server 8.5.5.11 or higher allow optionally selecting   
an embedded Java 8 for fresh installs. This java version        
requires minor changes to the existing ikeyman/gskcmd wrapper   
scripts to support CMS keystores                                
                                                                
Similar changes were made for version 9.0, where Java 8 is      
always used.                                                    

LOCAL FIX:                                                      

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
 IBM HTTP Server V9.0 or V8.5.5 with Java 8
users of ikeyman or gskcmd shipped with
IHS

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
ikeyman/gskcmd wrapper scripts need
updates to support CMS keystores for
IHS 8.5.5 and 9.0 with Java 8

RECOMMENDATION:
 Apply this fix if using Java 8 with either
IHS 8.5.5 or 9.0

Using Java 8 with IHS necessitates changes to the ikeyman and
gskcmd wrapper scripts in order to maintain support for CMS
keystores.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
Pass -DADD_CMS_SERVICE_PROVIDER_ENABLED=true to java            
certificate management tools to ensure CMS keystores are        
available without manual configuration under Java 8.0.          
                                                                
This fix is targeted for IBM HTTP Server fix packs:             
- 8.5.5.11                                                      
- 9.0.0.3
