Importing Certificates to the API Microgateway Truststore

For signature validation of JWTs, you need to add the public certificate of the Identity Provider to the truststore of the API Microgateway. Follow the steps given below to import the certificate.

  1. Convert the public certificate to a PEM format. For example,

    openssl x509 -inform der -in public_certificate.cert -out certificate.pem
  2. Import the certificate to the truststore. The ballerinaTruststore.p12 resides in the generated distribution of the API Microgateway runtime and toolkit in the following locations.

    keytool -import -keystore <MGW_TOOLKIT_HOME>/lib/platform/bre/security/ballerinaTruststore.p12 -alias wso2carbonjwt -file certificate.pem

    Note

    Do not unzip the platform.zip in /lib/ manually. After you use any toolkit command such as micro-gw init petstore, it will be automatically unzipped with necessary contents.

    keytool -import -keystore <MGW_RUNTIME_HOME>/runtime/bre/security/ballerinaTruststore.p12 -alias wso2carbonjwt -file certificate.pem

    Note

    Use the keytool that comes in JDK 8u60 or later.
