Link Enterprise supports utilizing the JKS format for it's web services API. If you are not familiar with java key stores you can learn more about them here. In most cases inside a keystore a private key is accompanied by the corresponding public key certificate.

To view the certificates currently installed in your Link Enterprise middleware for web services you can view the JKS file using a key store viewer such as https://keystore-explorer.org/

Once downloaded you can open the "keystore.jks" file using the password !DFLOW! to open the JKS file.

The JKS file is located at C:\<link enterprise-installation-directory>\config\certificates\keystore.jks

For information on trusted certificates and importing them you can visit the following link https://keystore-explorer.org/doc/5.4/trustedCertificates.html

For information on using a generated key-pair certificate you can visit the following link http://keystore-explorer.org/doc/5.4/keyPairs.html#generate-a-key-pair

Alternatively you can utilize pem and cer files for encrypting the Link Enterprise web service.

Upon any changes of the JKS the service must be restarted.
