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.

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.

When you run the command in Step 1, you will be prompted for the keystore password. Add the password for the

apacheds.ks

file.

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.

When you run the command in Step 3, you will be asked whether to trust this certificate. Type in yes
to add the certificate.

From the Identity Service Page of the Process Console, enter the full path to the

aeTrustedCA.ks

file for the Trusted Keystore Path.
