Manage Keystores via UI

The MWARE IAM Management Console enables viewing keystore details such as the available certificates. To do this, you need to first upload the relevant keystore via the MWARE IAM Management Console.

Before you begin

Make sure to create and store all the required keystore files in the <IS_HOME>/repository/resources/security directory.

Warning

Do not delete the default wso2carbon.jks.

Upload keystores

Follow the instructions below to upload a keystore file via the MWARE IAM Management Console.

  1. In the Main menu of the MWARE IAM Management Console (https://<IS_HOST>:<PORT>/carbon), click Manage > Keystores > Add.

    The Add Key Store page appears.

  2. Provide the required information:

    • Keystore password: This is required to access the private key and provider.
    • Provider
    • Keystore Type: This is to specify the type of the keystore file that you are uploading as JKS or PKCS12.
      • JKS: Java Key Store (JKS) allows you to read and store key entries and certificate entries. However, the key entries can only store private keys.
      • PKCS12: Public Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS12) allows you to read a keystore in this format and export the information from that keystore. However, you cannot modify the keystore. This is used to import certificates from different browsers into your Java Key store.

  3. Click Next.
  4. Enter the private key password.

  5. Click Finish to add the new keystore to the list.
