Keystore and Truststore Configuration

When SSL/TLS is enabled in a stage, you can also enable the use of a keystore and a truststore.

Though similar in many ways, a keystore contains a private key and public certificates that are used to verify the identity of the client upon a request from an SSL/TLS server. In contrast, a truststore generally contains certificates from trusted certificate authorities that an SSL/TLS client uses to verify the identity of an SSL/TLS server.

You can configure most stages to use a keystore or truststore in the following ways:
  • Load the keystore or truststore from a local file.
  • Load the contents of the keystore or truststore from a remote credential store.
