About Certificate Files

Installation of the Application Server generates a digital certificate in NSS format suitable for internal testing. By default, the Application Server stores its certificate information in two files in the install_dir/domains/domain_name/config directory:

In the Platform Edition, on the server side, the Application Server uses the JSSE format, which uses keytool to manage certificates and keystores. In the Enterprise Edition, on the server side, the Application Server uses NSS, which uses certutil to manage the NSS database which stores private keys and certificates. In both editions, on the client side (appclient or stand-alone), use the JSSE format.

By default, the Application Server is configured with a keystore and truststore that will work with the example applications and for development purposes. For production purposes, you may wish to change the certificate alias, add other certificates to the truststore, or change the name and/or location of the keystore and trust-store files.
