Using <strong>My</strong> <strong>webMethods</strong> <strong>Server</strong> as an HTTPS Client<br />

3. <strong>My</strong> <strong>webMethods</strong> <strong>Server</strong> and HTTPS<br />

If you want to connect <strong>My</strong> <strong>webMethods</strong> <strong>Server</strong> to a server using HTTPS, you must set up<br />

the trusted CA store file (the cacerts file) that the JVM running in the <strong>My</strong> <strong>webMethods</strong><br />

<strong>Server</strong> machine uses. The trusted CA store file must contain the CA certificates of the<br />

servers to which <strong>My</strong> <strong>webMethods</strong> <strong>Server</strong> will be issuing HTTPS requests.<br />

For example, if you use <strong>webMethods</strong> Monitor, you must identify the Integration <strong>Server</strong> to<br />

which <strong>My</strong> <strong>webMethods</strong> <strong>Server</strong> issues requests on behalf of Monitor pages. If you choose<br />

to have the requests issued using HTTPS, you must then set up the trusted CA store file of<br />

the JVM running in the <strong>My</strong> <strong>webMethods</strong> <strong>Server</strong> machine to contain the CA certificate of<br />

the Certificate Authority that signed the Integration <strong>Server</strong> certificate.<br />

You import CA certificates into the trusted CA store file of the JVM using the JVM’s<br />

keytool command. By default, the trusted CA store file is located in the following location<br />

where <strong>webMethods</strong>_install_dir is the location where you installed your <strong>webMethods</strong><br />

software and operating_system identifies the operating system you use:<br />

<strong>webMethods</strong>_install_dir\jvm\operating_system\jre\lib\security\cacerts<br />

For example, if you are using Windows, the location of the trusted CA store file is:<br />

<strong>webMethods</strong>_install_dir\jvm\win50\jre\lib\security\cacerts<br />

To import CA certificates into the trusted CA store file of the <strong>My</strong> <strong>webMethods</strong> <strong>Server</strong> JVM<br />

1 Locate the CA certificate you need to add to the trusted CA store file and ensure it is<br />

available on the machine running <strong>My</strong> <strong>webMethods</strong> <strong>Server</strong>.<br />

2 At a command line prompt, type the following command to move to the<br />

jvm/lib/security directory:<br />

cd <strong>webMethods</strong>_install_dir\jvm\operating_system\jre\lib\security<br />
