Adding Key Stores

WSO2 Carbon keystore management provides the facility to manage multiple keystores. Follow the instructions below to add a new Key store.

1. Log on to the Data Services Server Management Console.

2. Click the "Configure" menu and select select "Key Stores."

3. The "Key Store Management" page appears. Click on the "Add New Key store" link.

4. Locate the Key store file you want to add in the "Add New Key store" page. Specify the "Key store Password," which points to the password required to access the private key.

5. Select "Key store Type" from the drop-down menu.

WSO2 Carbon supports two types of Keystores.

• JKS (Java Key Store) : It can read and store key entries and certificate entries. However, the key entries can store only private keys.
• PKCS12 (Public Key Cryptography Standards) : You can read a keystore in this format and can export the information from that keystore, but you cannot modify the keystore. This is used to import the certificates from different browsers into your Java keystore.

6. Click the "Next" button.

7. In the next page, provide "Private Key Password" and click "Finish."
