Configure Java Keystore
A secure connection between the DSML gateway and the Active Directory requires a secure location for signed certificate storage. QAD recommends using a Java keystore (keystore.jks) file in a convenient location for the environment. Note the full path to the keystore.jks file. You will need it when you configure the DSML gateway.
Note: For detailed information on setting up a Java keystore, see Java documentation.
Follow these high-level steps to configure the Java keystore:
1 Create a keystore file to store the server’s private key and SSL certificate.
2 Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) required by the certificate provider.
3 Get an SSL certificate and a Primary Intermediate CA certificate file from a CA vendor (examples include GeoTrust and Verisign/Symantec).
4 Import the Primary Intermediate certificate (primary.p7b) into the Java keystore.
5 Import the SSL certificate into the Java keystore.
6 Validate the keystore entries.
