Run the following command to create a local keystore:
Shell
"C:\Program Files\IBM\gsk8\bin\gsk8capicmd_64" -keydb -create -db C:\Certs\clientkeydb.p12 -pw safest -type pkcs12 -stash
"C:\Program Files\IBM\gsk8\bin\gsk8capicmd_64" -keydb -create -db C:\Certs\clientkeydb.p12 -pw safest -type pkcs12 -stash

Run the following command to import the CA certificate bundle into the local keystore:
Shell
"C:\Program Files\IBM\gsk8\bin\gsk8capicmd_64" -cert -add -db C:\Certs\clientkeydb.p12 -stashed -label Root -file C:\Certs\ca-chain.pem
"C:\Program Files\IBM\gsk8\bin\gsk8capicmd_64" -cert -add -db C:\Certs\clientkeydb.p12 -stashed -label Root -file C:\Certs\ca-chain.pem
