Keystores

A keystore is a file that contains keys and certificates that you use for encryption, authentication, and serving content over HTTPS. In Pega Platform, you create a keystore data instance that points to a keystore file.

You can reference keystore data instances in the Keystore and Truststore fields for record types such as Web Services (WS) Security Profile data instances and REST connectors.

You source a keystore from a data page, a URL, an Amazon Key Management Service (KMS), or an external file. The keystore source determines which of the standard formats are available: JKS, JWK, PKCS12, KEYTAB, or KEY.

Pega Platform includes several keystore examples, such as BoxComTrust.
