Creating a Trusted Keystore File

Creating a Trusted Keystore File

To ensure that the Process Server can trust the SSL certificate presented by the LDAP server, the LDAP server's certificate, or its CA's certificate such as VeriSign, must be installed in a Java key store file which is designated as the store keeping a list of trusted certificates. This trust key store file must be accessible by the Process Server engine.
Example
Assuming your LDAP server is Apache DS running SSL using a self-signed certificate, you would use the following steps to create a trusted keystore file.
  1. Export the Apache DS SSL certificate as a DER-formatted file using the Java/Sun keytool. For example:
    c:> keytool -export -keystore apacheds.ks -alias apacheDsAlias -file aeldap.cer
    where
    apacheds.ks
    is the key store database in which the Apache DS SSL certificate is stored,
    apacheDsAlias
    is the alias within that key store, and
    aeldap.cer
    is the name of the file where the certificate is exported to.
  2. When you run the command in Step 1, you will be prompted for the keystore password. Add the password for the
    apacheds.ks
    file.
  3. Create a new keystore file, such as
    aeTrustedCA.ks
    , on the same machine as the Process Server engine. This key store will contain trusted certificates. Also in the same command, import the certificate. For example:
    c:> keytool -import -file aeldap.cer -alias apacheDsAlias -keystore aeTrustedCA.ks -storepass secret
    where
    aeldap.cer
    is the file that was exported from the Apache DS server
    aeTrustedCA.ks
    is the name of the new key store file on machine that is running the Process Server engine, and
    secret
    is the password for the
    apacheds.ks
    file.
  4. When you run the command in Step 3, you will be asked whether to trust this certificate. Type in
    yes
    to add the certificate.
  5. From the Identity Service Page of the Process Console, enter the full path to the
    aeTrustedCA.ks
    file for the Trusted Keystore Path.
