Configuring a keystore by using a file reference

To configure a keystore, you can reference a keystore file from a file location.

You must complete the following task before you can configure a keystore: Creating a keystore.
  1. Open a keystore from the Explorer panel by clicking Records > Security > Keystore and selecting a file reference keystore from the instance list.
  2. In the Keystore file path field, enter the path to the keystore file, for example: C:\keystores\JWTKeys.jks.
  3. In the Keystore type list, select the keystore file type.
    • Java KeyStore (JKS)
    • Public Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS12)
    • JSON Web Key (JWK)
  4. Select the password source for the keystore.
    • Fixed password – After you select Fixed password, in the Keystore password field, enter the password to the keystore file.
    • Clipboard property – After you select Clipboard property, in the Clipboard password property field, enter the name of the clipboard property that you want to get the password from, for example, operatorID.pyPassword.
    • Function – After you select Function, in the Function field, enter the rule utility function to be invoked to get the password. The function must comply with the following syntax: @(RuleSetName:RuleUtilityLibraryName).RuleUtilityFunctionName, for example, @(myApp:PasswordUtil).getPassword().
  5. 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.
  6. Click Save.
