Description

Description:
We have the option to define component properties of type “Keystore Credential Provider Resource Template” at Design time but will not able to get the actual keystore in POJO code. Keystore Credential Provider Resource Template, along with some other security related Java component properties, are exposed for internal use only and not accessible directly in custom Java implementations. We have another product (Policy Directory) to handle security stuff.

Issue/Introduction

Is retrieving a Java component property value of type "Keystore" in a Java implementation supported?

Environment

Product: TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Grid Version: OS: All Supported Operating Systems --------------------

Resolution

The most common use case of retrieving keystore in a Java implementation is to establish an HTTPS connection. In that case, there is an alternative to use HttpClient/SSLClient resource template as a Java component property. Review the Java API available for HttpClient in the relevant documentation at the following URL:
