Creating the web services certificate

Web services respects the host server security configuration.

  • If the host server is configured in "no security" mode, then no security is used for web services.
  • If the host server is configured as basic or advanced security, then Transport Security (SSL) is used for web services.

If a security upgrade changes the security mode to basic or advanced security, then it adds the security configuration to web services. It does this by importing the host server’s public key certificate and private key certificate into a keystore file, which is required for Transport Security (SSL).

Select File > Prepare Web Services Certificate to configure this certificate.

For Certificate Path and Private Key Path, click Browse to specify the directory path to the security certificates.
