TrustFileName in SSL Configuration

[PraveenR]

Hi,
I have configured SSL in IBM Http Server and also in WebSphere.I created a Key using KeyManagement Utility and given the ".jks" Key file Path in WebSphere App server, and left the Trust File as empty. When i restart the Application Server , i get and error that
java.lang.RuntimeException: TrustFileName not set in the SSL configuration
at com.ibm.ws.security.core.SecurityComponentImpl.start(SecurityComponentImpl.java:361)

Praveen,

The JKS files in WAS is split into two.

key File and a trust file

Key FIle is where your private keys are stored

In your trust file you have the public Keys of all the Servers which you trust.

You would need to have both of these specified in your App Server Config.

The Key and Trust FIles are configured via the SSL Configuration Repertoires.

security.xml is the file where these information are stored.

Prefer you do it with wsadmin or the GUI Console
