Security

OPI supports security through the use of:

•

opicert.cer

—Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificate file

•

opitruststore

—key store file

These files are required when you connect to the Provisioning Server
through HTTP Secure (HTTPS). You use the following command line
parameters:

Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=opitruststore

-Djavx.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=opitruststore

When you have a Certificate Authority (CA) Certificate, you must import it
into the key store file (

opitruststore

). For instructions, see

"Importing a

CA Certificate into the BPT" (page 51)
