About the Truststore certificate file

The Truststore certificate type requires a text file that contains a certificate in PEM format. The PEM file is imported into the default JVM truststore in the server JVM when the integration runtime starts.

The name of the configuration is used as the alias for the certificate when it is imported into the default JVM truststore.

Creating a configuration for the Truststore certificate type by using the configuration panel

You can create a Truststore certificate-type configuration while creating an integration runtime, or independently, as follows:

  1. Open the Configuration page by clicking the Configuration icon Configuration icon in the navigation pane, or go to the Configuration view of an integration runtime that you are creating. Then, click Create configuration. For more information, see Managing configuration objects from the Configuration tab.
  2. From the Create configuration panel, select Truststore certificate from the Type list.
  3. In the Name field, specify a name for this configuration. This name will be used as the alias for the certificate.
  4. In the Description field, specify text that will help you identify the integration runtime that will use this certificate.
