What's the difference between a keystore and a truststore?
Keystores and truststores are repositories that contain cryptographic artifacts like certificates and private keys that are used for cryptographic protocols such as TLS. A keystore contains personal certificates, plus the corresponding private keys that are used to identify the owner of the certificate.
The SSL keystore holds the identity key for the server and the SSL truststore serves as the repository for trusted certificates. The SSL truststore is used for trusting or authenticating client certificates (for two-way SSL).
By default, as specified in the java. security file, keytool uses JKS as the format of the key and certificate databases (KeyStore and TrustStores). A CA must sign the certificate signing request (CSR). The CA is therefore trusted by the server-side application to which the Adapter is connected.
keyStore- Location of the Java keystore file containing an application process's own certificate and private key. On Windows, the specified pathname must use forward slashes, /, in place of backslashes. javax. net.
A keystore contains private keys, and the certificates with their corresponding public keys.
A truststore contains certificates from other parties that you expect to communicate with, or from Certificate Authorities that you trust to identify other parties.
