Certificate store name

Name for the certificate store.

The name of the collection certificate store must be unique in the scope. For example, the name must be unique at the server level. The name specified in Certificate store name field is used by other configurations to refer to a pre-defined collection certificate store. For example, the application binding refers to a collection certificate store that is defined on the server level. The appserver looks up the collection certificate store based on proximity. For example, if cert1 is defined as the name of the certificate store on the cell and server levels and cert1 is referenced in the application binding, the appserver uses the server-level collection certificate store.

Certificate Store Provider

Provider for the certificate store implementation.

WAS supports the IBMCertPath certificate path provider. If use another certificate path provider, define the provider implementation in the provider list within the java.security file in the Software Development Kit (SDK).

Data type	String
Default	IBMCertPath
