Configuring HTTPS Client Credentials

Use the HTTPS Client Credentials page to specify the keystores Eclipse should use when handling HTTPS traffic.

HTTPS encrypts an HTTP message prior to transmission and decrypts it upon arrival. It uses a public key certificate signed by a trusted certificate authority. Use the HTTP Client Credentials tab to enter details of the certificate keystore for the client. The client keystore identity is used for configuring HTTPS.

For more information about keystores and keystore providers, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding Security for Oracle WebLogic Server guide.

To configure credentials:

1. From the main menu, choose Window > Preferences.

2. In the Preferences dialog, select WebLogic > Credentials.

3. On the Credentials page, select a WebLogic Server runtime to configure its keystore and credential information or add a new runtime.

4. With a runtime selected, configure its HTTPS Client Credential information in the HTTPS Client Credentials section:

   • Client Trusted Certificate Keystore: Enter, or browse to, the location of the client certificate keystore.

   • Client Trusted Keystore Password: Enter the password for the client keystore. The default is DemoTrustKeyStorePassPhrase.

   • Edit Keystore: Click to add or remove entries in the keystore.

   • Client Keystore: Enter or browse to the location of the client keystore.

   • Client Keystore Password: Enter the password for the client keystore.

   • Client Private Key Password: Enter the client private key password.

     • Append default CA certificates: Select to add the CA certificates.

   • Restore Defaults: Click to restore default settings.
