Trust anchor page

Use this page to view a list of keystore objects containing trusted root certificates. These objects are used for certificate path validation of incoming X.509-formatted security tokens. Keystore objects within trust anchors contain trusted root certificates used by the CertPath API to validate the trust of a certificate chain.

This dmgr console page applies only to JAX-RPC applications.

To create the keystore file, use the key tool located in the install_dir\java\jre\bin\keytool directory.
