Protecting Keystore and Truststore Files
Keystore and truststore files exist within the file system of your operating system, and since these are critically important files, you want to maintain them in a secure directory path. If either of the certificate files for a Broker component cannot be located, SSL authentication will be disabled and the connection may be switched to an open port. It is recommended that only users serving as My webMethods or Broker administrators have access to these certificate files.
