Rules for Application Property

The following rules must be followed when an application property is used for any of the certificate or key fields:

  • A base64 encoded privacy-enhanced mail(PEM) string representing the certificate or the key must be entered in the following format:

    base64,<base64content>

    This format is included in the configuration of the application and is available wherever the application is deployed.

  • A file by using the Uniform Resource Identifier(URI) syntax in the following format:

    file:///somedir/somefile.PEM

    This file name is stored in the configuration of the application. The file must be available by this name wherever the application is deployed.

  • A file by using a fully qualified name in the following format:

    /somedir/somefile.PEM

    This file name is stored in the configuration of the application. The file must be available by this name wherever the application is deployed.
