Certificates

Certificate management allows you to enable certificate validation between the Management
application server and products when HTTPS is enabled and between server and client when SSL is
enabled on server. For more information about product communication, refer to

“Product

communication settings”

on page 215.

Certificate management also allows you to manage the Management application server truststore
as well as the Management application client truststore. On the Management application server,
the truststore is maintained as two separate files: truststore and keystore. A truststore contains
certificates from other third-parties with which the Management application server communicates.
The truststore file is used when making decisions on what to trust. The server truststore
(truststore.jks) is stored in the Install_Home/conf/security/ directory. A keystore file stores the
Management server’s identity and its private key. The server keystore file (keystore.jks) is stored in
the Install_Home/conf/security directory.

When SSL is enabled on the server, the server presents the keystore certificate to authenticate
itself with the client. The Management application client truststore contains certificates from the
Management application servers with which the client communicates. The Management
application client truststore does not have a private key.
