Creating a keystore

Create a keystore instance for your keystore file, which contains the keys and certificates that are used, for example, to support Web Services Security and outbound email security.

Obtain a keystore file that is signed by a certificate authority or is self-signed, and make it available as a file or as a URL. This is done outside of Pega Platform. If the file has a password, you will also need the password. For more information, see your security administrator.
