KeyStores and TrustStores

The JSSE makes use of files calledKeyStoresAndTrustStores. The KeyStore is used by the adapter for client authentication, while the TrustStore is used to authenticate a server in SSL authentication.

• AKeyStoreConsists of a database containing a private key and an associated certificate, or an associated certificate chain. The certificate chain consists of the client certificate and one or more certification authority (CA) certificates.

• ATrustStoreContains only the certificates trusted by the client (a "trust" store ). these certificates are CA root certificates, that is, self-signed certificates. the installation of the Logical Host has des a TrustStore file namedCacerts. jksIn the location:

  <c:\JavaCAPS>\appserver\domains\<MyDomain>\config

  Where<C: \ JavaCAPS>Is the directory where Java CAPS is installed and<MyDomain>Is the name of your domain. This file is recommended as the TrustStore for the Sun Adapters.

Both KeyStores and TrustStores are managed by means of a utility calledKeytool, Which is a part of the Java SDK installation.
