Step 2. Create Truststore Files

Create a truststore file to store certificates from the trusted Certificate Authority (CA). Use the truststore file to verify the certificate provided by the server in an SSL connection.

Perform the following steps to create a truststore file that contains the Head certificate:

Open the keystore file, right-click the file alias name, and select

Export

Retain the default values and click

Save the

.cer

file.

From the Tools menu, click

Import Trusted Certificate

The

Import Trusted Certificate

dialog box appears.

Select the

.cer

certificate file that you exported in Step 3.

Confirm the certificate details and click

A dialog box appears asking if you want to accept the certificate.

Click

Yes

to trust the certificate and import it.

Otherwise, click

to cancel the file import.

The

Trusted Certificate Alias

dialog box appears.

Enter the alias of the new trusted certificate and click

The new trusted certificate entry appears in the keystore entries table with the chosen alias name.

In case of multi-broker Kafka, all keypairs for each broker must reside in the same keystore file. Similarly, all head certificates must reside in the same truststore file.
