Private Key Formats

TIBCO Enterprise Message Service supports the following file formats for private keys:

PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail)
DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules)
PKCS#8
PKCS#12

The EMS server uses OpenSSL to read private keys. It does not read Java KeyStore files.

When configured to use the j2se TLS vendor, the Java client does not support private keys encoded with the PKCS#8 syntax. In that situation, use either the PKCS#12 format or a Java KeyStore.
