Changing the Keystore

By default, the trusted public certificates of servers and certificate authorities are stored in the cacerts keystore file, and the trusted public certificates and private keys of clients are stored in the clientcerts keystore file, which are located in the JXplorer security directory. However, you can change the location and type of the keystore file.

1.  From the Security Menu, choose Advanced Keystore Options.

 

2.  To change the keystore for trusted public certificates of servers, click the Load button alongside CA/Server Keystore.

 

3.  From the Open dialog, select the new keystore and then click the Open button.

 

4.  Select the CA/Server keystore type from the drop-down list. The default is JKS.

 

5.  To change the keystore for trusted public certificates and private keys of clients, click the Load button alongside Client Keystore.

 

6.  From the Open dialog, select the new keystore and then click the Open button.

 

7.  Select the Client keystore type from the drop-down list. The default is JKS.
