To enable SSL, you must extract the web service trust certificate from the application by following the steps provided in your web server user documentation, for example, Reveleus, and then add the extracted certificate to the JDK keystore.

To add the extracted certificate to the JDK keystore, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to jdk/jre/bin and execute keytool -list -keystore

    ..\lib\security\cacerts.

  2. Enter the keystore password, such as change it.

    This is the weblogic default password. If this password has been changed, please provide the updated password.

    The certificates that are already in the keystore will be listed.

    For example: /scratch/ofsaebas/jdk1.7.0_75/jre/lib/security>keytool -list - keystore cacerts

  3. Execute the following command:

    keytool -import -v -file ##certificate location## -keystore cacerts - alias ##alias name##

  4. Enter keystore password: changeit. The certificate details will display, and the following prompt appears:

    Trust this certificate? [no]: yes Certificate was added to keystore [Storing cacerts] Repeat these steps for the deployed area, such as the WebLogic layer.

  5. Verify that the new certificate has been added.
