SSL and cert keystore

by

SSL properties are set at the JVM level via system properties. Meaning you can either set them when you run the program (java -D….) Or you can set them in code by doing System.setProperty.

The specific keys you have to set are below:

javax.net.ssl.keyStore– Location of
the Java keystore file containing an
application process’s own certificate
and private key. On Windows, the
specified pathname must use forward
slashes, /, in place of backslashes.

javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword – Password
to access the private key from the
keystore file specified by
javax.net.ssl.keyStore. This password
is used twice: To unlock the keystore
file (store password), and To decrypt
the private key stored in the keystore
(key password).

javax.net.ssl.trustStore – Location of
the Java keystore file containing the
collection of CA certificates trusted
by this application process (trust
store). On Windows, the specified
pathname must use forward slashes, /,
in place of backslashes, \.

If a trust store location is not
specified using this property, the
SunJSSE implementation searches for
and uses a keystore file in the
following locations (in order):

  1. $JAVA_HOME/lib/security/jssecacerts
  2. $JAVA_HOME/lib/security/cacerts

javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword –
Password to unlock the keystore file
(store password) specified by
javax.net.ssl.trustStore.

javax.net.ssl.trustStoreType – (Optional)
For Java keystore file format, this
property has the value jks (or JKS).
You do not normally specify this
property, because its default value is
already jks.

javax.net.debug – To switch
on logging for the SSL/TLS layer, set
this property to ssl.
