Create keystore and truststore for CentraSite |  Create a keystore and import the signed certificate and private key.  Create a truststore and import the certificate of the signing CA.  Store the keystore and truststore in a secure CentraSite certificates directory. Important: | If you use a Java keytool to create the keystore, you cannot import an existing private key. You can use other tools such as OpenSSL or Portecle. |
