SQL service to manage certificate store (import certificate to store)

Hello, I recently just been working on some certificates projects and I thought it would be a great use to have a SQL functionality to import certificate to a store.

Furthermore It would be nice to have a possibility to assign or replace certificate on application.

For the moment we have CERTIFICATE_INFO table function - IBM Documentation which is great for monitoring, but to have possibility to manage (mainly import) is another level.

    The CAAC has reviewed this IBM Idea and recommends that IBM view this as a high priority Idea that is important to be addressed.

    There is great usability with this but there it needs to be locked down with a function usage.


    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual IBM Ideas on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your Idea.
