The Key Storage service of the J2EE Engine enables you to manage certificates and credentials on the server; you can also use it to generate keys and certificates. These keys and certificates can be used for encrypting, identification, and verification. The Key Storage entries are stored in a distributed database and can be assigned particular access rights. The service is compatible with the Java Cryptography Architecture.
There is integration between the Key Storage, SSL Provider and Security Provider services on the J2EE Engine. If you want to use the SSL Provider service, the Key Storage service must be started first. The SSL Provider service can use the certificates generated by the Key Storage service.
The Key Storage service enables you to manage the key storage views and the entries of these views. For more information, see Managing Keystore Views and Managing Entries.
