Configuring Keystores

WSO2 ESB uses several keystores to power the HTTPS transport and encrypt other confidential information such as administrator passwords. The keystore of the HTTPS transport is configured in the axis2.xml file under the HTTPS transport receiver and HTTPS transport sender configurations. See Working with Transports.

<parameter name="keystore" locked="false">
	<KeyStore>
		<Location>resources/security/wso2carbon.jks</Location>
		<Type>JKS</Type>
		<Password>wso2carbon</Password>
		<KeyPassword>wso2carbon</KeyPassword>
	</KeyStore>
</parameter>
<parameter name="truststore" locked="false">
	<TrustStore>
		<Location>resources/security/client-truststore.jks</Location>
		<Type>JKS</Type>
		<Password>wso2carbon</Password>
	</TrustStore>
</parameter>

The default keystores can be found in ESB_HOME/repository/resources/security directory. To change the keystores used by the HTTPS transport, update the HTTPS transport receiver and sender configurations by specifying the paths to keystores files and other attributes of the files such as the keystores passwords.

The <Password> element should indicate the password of the keystores file.
The <KeyPassword> element should point to the password required to access the private key.

The keystores used to encrypt administrator passwords and other confidential information in Carbon is configured in ESB_HOME/repository/conf/carbon.xml file. This keystores configuration can be found under the <security> element of the carbon.xml file.

<KeyStore>
	<Location>${carbon.home}/resources/security/wso2carbon.jks</Location>
	<Type>JKS</Type>
	<Password>wso2carbon</Password>
	<KeyAlias>wso2carbon</KeyAlias>
	<KeyPassword>wso2carbon</KeyPassword>
</KeyStore>
