Naming VisiBRoker certs and keys

Environment

VisiBroker 8.5.x

All supported platforms

Question/Problem Description

VisiBroker applications storing SSL certificates and keys in a directory, must adhere to certain file-naming conventions.

That is, certain file and directory names are required for VisiBroker applications with a "directory" wallet-type (vbroker.security.wallet.type=Directory:).

Resolution

VisiBroker applications storing SSL certificates and keys in a directory must adhere to the following file-naming convention:

    - The user certificate file is named “cert0”

    - The signing certificate files are named “certN”, where “N” is a number greater than or equal to 1. The signing certificates are numbered in sequence. For example:

        - cert0 (user certificate) is signed by cert1 (intermediate CA certificate)

        - cert1 (intermediate CA certificate) is signed by cert2 (root CA certificate)

    - The private key file is named “key”

    - The certificates and key are stored in a directory matching the user certificate’s Common Name
