Java keystore maintenance utilities


We are using the below line in our shell script file :

Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore="/proj/xxx/www/cgi-bin/xxx_cacerts 

The xxx_cacerts file contains SSL certificate information. As we are about to upgrade we tried changing that file as per the latest one given in our organization.

For this we need to know what is "Java keystore maintenance utilities" in order to make changes in application side.

With this link i understand a bit . Can any one explain in details what exactly Java Keystore means?


Solution

  • Basically, a keystore is a repository of certificates located on the file system. See a more detailed definition here: https://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=what+is+a+keystore&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

    Also this SO question What is Keystore? I believe should be helpful.
