Java Keystore

To use the Java keystore credential store system, install the Java Keystore Credential Store stage library and define the configuration properties used to connect to the credential store.

Use the

stagelib-cli
                jks-credentialstore

command to add credentials to the credential store. Then, use credential functions in pipeline stage properties to retrieve stored values.

Important: Use the Java keystore credential store system in development environments only. In a production environment, use one of the other supported credential stores.

A Java keystore credential storage system requires the distribution of a keystore file, which complicates security. Before using a Java keystore system, decide how the keystore will be distributed and consult with your IT security team to ensure that the system meets IT policies.
