Converting Certificates

Use the keytool utility to convert a CA certificate to a keystore for use in a design-time connection.

On the command line, run the following command to convert a certificate to a keystore:

TIBCO_HOME\tibcojre64\x.x\bin\keytool -import -v -alias <alias> -file <cert_file> -keystore <keystore>

where:

  • TIBCO_HOME is the top-level directory where TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks is installed.
  • -alias aliasname is the alias of the keystore. Each alias corresponds to a domain name.
  • -file filename is the file name of the certificate.
  • -keystore keystore is the name of the keystore to be converted.

For example, to convert the cacert.der certificate to a keystore with the alias CAcert, run the following command:

TIBCO_HOME\tibcojre64\x.x\bin\keytool -import -v -alias CAcert -file cacert.der -keystore TIBCO_HOME/tibcojre64/x.x/lib/security/cacerts

By default, the converted keystore is imported to the TIBCO_HOME/tibcojre64/x.x/lib/security directory.

Note: The password that you specified when converting the certificate is used to access the keystore in the design-time configuration.
