Problem summary

• Steps/script to recreate problem:
  jre/bin/ikeycmdn -keydb -create -db /tmp/temp.jks -pw test
  sh -x jre/bin/ikeycmd -cert -create -db /tmp/temp.jks -pw test
  -dn "cn=Foo Bar"
  + dirname jre/bin/ikeycmd
  + jre/bin/java -ms8m com.ibm.gsk.ikeyman.ikeycmd -cert -create
  -db /tmp/temp.jks -pw test -dn cn=Foo Bar
  Too many values for parameter '-dn' were specified: <OSB>cn=Foo,
  Bar<CSB>
  Remove the excess parameters and try again.
  

Problem conclusion

• The parameter is split into two tokens when passed along because
  bin/ikeycmd does not use the idiomatic "$@" to preserve
  tokenization. Same issue with bin/iKeyman script.
