Trust File

The content of the trust file instructs clients to trust the FTL server's certificate. Administrators and developers coordinate to supply the trust file to application programs, web browsers, and all FTL servers which include all core servers and auxiliary servers at all sites (including primary, satellite, and DR sites). .

A secure FTL server reads the trust file in its data directory. The trust file is named ftl-trust.pem. This file contains one or more PEM-encoded public certificates, each of which is typically 1 - 2 kilobytes of data.

Administrators distribute the trust file to clients: that is, developers and application administrators coordinate so that client programs can access the trust file at run time.

Users can load the trust file into a web browser’s trust store.
