Installing a certificate

Installing a certificate requires a four-step process.

Procedure

  1. Get the server certificate from your server administrator.
  2. Create a new truststore.
  3. Call Java to run the test and provide the appropriate parameters to identify the truststore.
  4. Extract the certificate from the keystore.
  • Creating the new truststore
    To have an SSL “handshake” with the server, you must generate the truststore from the certificate used by the server.
  • Certificate parameters for testing
    Before you run the certificate test for the Jave client, you must make sure you run the JVM with the correct parameters.
