On the SSL client, create a keystore to store the client
certificate, and create a truststore for the client to store the server
certificate.
About this task
Several tools are available for managing keystores. The
following steps create a client certificate to store in the client
keystore and a client truststore to store server certificates.
Procedure
- Create a certificate for the client, the IMS™ TM
resource adapter, and
have the certificate signed by a certificate authority (for example,
VeriSign). You can also create your own certificate authority (CA)
by using software such as OpenSSL to sign your own (self-signed) certificate.
- Create a keystore by using a key management tool such as
Ikeyman or Keytool.
- Import the client certificate (if one is available) into
the keystore.
- Create a truststore for the client by creating another
keystore.
- Import the certificate for the server (IMS Connect) into the client truststore.
