Configuring Content Platform Engine as an SSL server

During Content Platform Engine to Content Platform Engine communication over a secure channel, one server acts as an SSL server. You must configure the Content Platform Engine as an SSL server if the Server Communication Certificate Validation Enabled property value is true.

About this task

Regardless of the type of application server that you use, configuring Content Platform Engine as an SSL server consists of three main steps:
  1. Enabling SSL support on the application server
  2. Specifying the identity keystore and server truststore
  3. Creating or importing the server's certificate into identity keystore and server truststore

The identity keystore stores the certificate that identifies Content Platform Engine server to SSL clients. The server truststore stores trusted certificates that the Content Platform Engine server uses when it is acting as a SSL client so that it can validate the identity of the server that it connects to.
