A keystore file contains one or more pairs of a private key and signed certificate for its corresponding public key. Keystores provide added layers of security and are easier to use than maintaining keys and certificates in separate files. Keystore files should be strongly protected with a password and stored, either on the file system or elsewhere, so that they are accessible only to administrators.

You will be prompted to specify a keystore location when you configure the following settings:

SSL settings for an ActiveTransfer Server or ActiveTransfer Gateway port that uses the HTTPS or FTPS protocol, as described in Specifying a Keystore File for a Port.

SSL settings for an ActiveTransfer Server or ActiveTransfer Gateway instance rather than for a specific port, as described in Activating SSL Settings.

File-based encryption and decryption settings for an ActiveTransfer Server or ActiveTransfer Gateway instance, as described in Activating File-Based Encryption and Decryption.

SSH settings for an ActiveTransfer Server port that uses the SFTP protocol, as described in Setting RSA and DSA Encryption.

File-based encryption and decryption settings when configuring templates and users on ActiveTransfer Server, as described in Specifying Encryption and Decryption Options at the Template Level and Specifying Encryption and Decryption Options for a User.

The “encrypt” or “decrypt” file operation for an event configured on ActiveTransfer Server, as described in Encrypting and Decrypting Files.

Verify that the appropriate keystore files reside on the machines that host the ActiveTransfer Server or ActiveTransfer Gateway on which you are performing these configuration tasks.
