Configuring a keystore by using a URL reference

Updated on June 30, 2021

To configure a keystore, you can reference a keystore file that contains public keys from a URL address.

Before you begin: You must complete the following tasks before you can configure a keystore:

Create a keystore data instance in Pega Platform with Keystore location equal to Reference to URL.
Ensure that the URL is accessible. If the required HTTPS certificate is not in the cacerts keystore or an equivalent application server-level truststore, you must import the certificate into the cacerts keystore or equivalent application server-level truststore, and restart the server.

Open a keystore from the navigation panel by clicking RecordsSecurityKeystore and selecting a URL reference keystore from the instance list.
In the Keystore url field, enter the URL address of the keystore file, for example: https://www.pegasystems.com/prweb/PRRestService/keys/v1/jwt/JWTGenerationProfile.
In the Keystore type list, click the keystore type.
- JSON Web Key (JWK)
- Microsoft authentication metadata
Select the refresh strategy for your keystore.
- Reload once per interaction – Disable caching of the keystore file. Choose this if the keystore might change unexpectedly.
- Cache keystore (default) – Cache the keystore, with the caching time set to 3600 seconds. You can override the caching time in the Reload after field.
Click Save.
