Trust anchor configuration settings

Use this information to configure a trust anchor. Trust anchors point to keystores that contain trusted root or self-signed certificates. This information enables you to specify a name for the trust anchor and the information that is needed to access a keystore. The application binding uses this name to reference a predefined trust anchor definition in the binding file (or the default).

Trust anchor name

Unique name used by the application binding to reference a predefined trust anchor definition in the default binding.

Key store configuration name

Name of the key store configuration defined in the keystore settings in secure communications.

Key store password

Password that is needed to access the key store file.

Key store path

Location of the keystore file.

Use ${USER_INSTALL_ROOT} as this path expands to the WAS path on your machine.

Key store type

Type of keystore file.

Choose from the following options:

JKS

Use this option if you are not using Java Cryptography Extensions (JCE).

JCEKS

Use this option if you are using Java Cryptography Extensions.

PKCS11KS (PKCS11)

Use this format if your keystore uses the PKCS#11 file format. Keystores that use this format might contain Rivest Shamir Adleman (RSA) keys on cryptographic hardware or might encrypt keys that use cryptographic hardware to ensure protection.

PKCS12KS (PKCS12)

Use this option if your keystore uses the PKCS#12 file format.

Default	JKS
Range	JKS, JCEKS, PKCS11KS (PKCS11), PKCS12KS (PKCS12)
