Thanks for the responses. So, what are the keystores in the /data/security 
folder for? Are they keystores sent in response to incoming messages?

Hi Jennifer,

You need to add your self-signed certificate to the java keystore. It should be 
added to the keystore of the java instance being used to run Knox. This task 
isn’t really specific to knox but more so a common java task.

You can look online at the documentation for java keytool for specifics but it 
would be something like this:

keytool -import -keystore $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts -storepass 
changeme -alias <some-alias> -noprompt -file <some-cert>

Hello Again,

I am trying to determine how to configure Knox to talk to a web service with a 
self-signed keystore (we are still in the early days of development) over 
https. So in other words, I want my topology file to have this:

<service>
        <role>HELLOSERVICE</role>
        
<url>https://server.running.service:8447/demo</url><https://server.running.service:8447/demo%3C/url%3E>
</service>

Instead of this:

<service>
        <role>HELLOSERVICE</role>
        <url>http:// server.running.service:8088/demo</url>
</service>

Can you please point me to some directions about how to go about doing this? I 
thinking that I need to add the web service’s keystore to Knox’s keystores so 
that it knows who it is talking to, but I’m not sure if there is any additional 
configuration needed or how to go about adding a keystore to Knox. I’ve found 
some diagrams online indicating that this should be possible, but haven’t had 
any luck finding directions.

Thank you!

Jennifer
