Using X.509 for an External REST Connector in Orchestrations

Perform these steps to use an X.509 Client Certificate while invoking an external REST call through an orchestration:

  1. Ensure that your certificate is in the following two Java keystore formats:

    • Java KeyStore (JKS)

    • Public-Key Cryptography Standard (PKCS12)

    Note: You can use external tools such as Java keytool or OpenSSL to convert your certificate to one of the accepted formats. You can use these tools to convert your certificates from the formats such as DER (.crt, .cer, or .der) or PEM (.pem) along with their key files into JKS (.jks) or PKCS12 (.pfx, .p12) formats.

  2. Create a REST connection and include the location of the keystore file and the file password.

  3. Use this REST connection to create a connector to call the external REST service.
