Java, Linux,: IN this context does .keystore refer to a file or a directory

When starting the client's VM, specify the following system properties:

javax.net.ssl.keyStore=/path/to/client.ks
javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=password
javax.net.ssl.trustStore=/path/to/client.ts
Icon

Open in new window

In Linux, do not use absolute path to keystore. By default, keytool uses ~/.keystore, but in some setups passing -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=/home/account/.keystore to Java VM does not work. This is not ActiveMQ specific but good to keep in mind anyway.

Open in new window

The documentation suggests refering to the following

~/.keystore

Open in new window

So in this context, does .keystore refer to a directory (in which case I would put my client.ks in:

~/.keystore/client.ks

Or does it refer to the .keystore itself as being the new name of the client.ks

A keystore is a file. Keys are imported (with keytool etc) into that file

I understand that the keystore itself is a file. However, I was not clear in my post

What I do not understand is if the documentation is referring that the actual name of the keystore is:

~/.keystore

Open in new window

or if .keystore is just a subdirectory within the home underneath which it places the actual keystore, as in:

~/.keystore/broker.ks

Open in new window

Since broker.ks is used by the documentation to specify the name of the keystore.
