Using a custom trust store for HCL® Launch
You can use a custom trust store in the HCL OneTest™ Server Launch plugin file to establish a trusted and secure connection between the HCL® Launch server and HCL OneTest™ Server.
Before you begin
You must have configured the certificate that is used by HCL OneTest™ Server as a trusted CA, and then install HCL OneTest™ Server. See Installation of the server software.
About this task
If the SSL certificate assigned to HCL OneTest™ Server is signed by an internal Certified Authority (CA), then you must download and import the CA certificate to a custom trust store. You can then use the custom trust store in the HCL OneTest™ Server test process step to establish a trusted and secure connection between the HCL® Launch server and HCL OneTest™ Server.
Procedure
- Locate the default trust store file (cacerts file) in your JRE directory from your computer, and then copy the file to a location of your choice on your computer.
-
Run the following command from the command prompt or terminal to import the CA
certificate to your custom trust store:
keytool -import -trustcacerts -file <path to the downloaded CA certificate with the file extension> -alias <custom label for the certificate> -keystore <path to the trust store>
For example,
keytool -import -trustcacerts -file C:\Users\ca file.crt -alias alias1 -keystore D:\cert\cacerts
Note: The default password of the trust store is changeit. It remains the same for the custom trust store. If you want to change the password, you can run the following command, and then enter the new password:keytool -storepasswd -keystore <path to the trust store>
For example,
keytool -storepasswd -keystore D:\cert\cacerts
