Security

OPI supports security through the use of:

•opicert.cer—Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificate file

•opitruststore—key store file

These files are required when you connect to the Provisioning Server through HTTP Secure (HTTPS). You use the following command line parameters:

Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=opitruststore

-Djavx.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=opitruststore

When you have a Certificate Authority (CA) Certificate, you must import it into the key store file (opitruststore). For instructions, see "Importing a CA Certificate into the BPT" (page 51).
