Set server and cell level key locators using the admin console


A key locator typically locates a key store in the file system. Configure server and cell-level key locators for a specific application by using the WAS admin console. Configure binding information in the admin console; however, for extensions, use an assembly tool.

There is an important distinction between Version 5.x and V6.0.x and later applications. The information in this article supports V5.x applications only that are used with WAS V6.0.x and later. The information does not apply to V 6.0.x and later applications.

The location of key stores can vary from machine to machine so it is often helpful to configure a default key locator for a specific machine and reference it from within the encryption or signing information. This information is found within the binding configurations of any application installed on the machine. This suggestion enables you to define a single key locator for all applications that need to use the same keys. In an ND environment, you also can specify the default binding information at the cell level.
