Managing Certificates on the WSS Certificates Page

Manage Oracle Web Services Management (OWSM) security policies (WSS) for an OWSM truststore used for web services with OWSM policies from the WSS Certificates page.

This page allows you to add and remove WSS truststore certificates to a service instance. Once added, you can view important information about each certificate. Adding an WSS certificate to the WSS truststore requires a service restart for the changes to take effect. Oracle does not support the use of special characters in the alias name of WebLogic WSS truststore certificates.
