Generate the SSLConfig.properties file for the keystore

Part of the process of protecting the Claims WS service involves generating an SSLConfig.properties file for the keystore. You can generate this file using a script that is installed with the Agent for SharePoint.

The GenerateSSLConfig uses the following syntax:

GenerateSSLConfig -keystorepass password_to_your_keystore

Follow these steps:

  1. Open a command-line window with Administrative privileges.
  2. Navigate to the following directory: 
    Agent-for-SharePoint_home\proxy-engine\bin
  3. Run one of the following script files:

    You specify the following parameters when you run the script:

    -keystorepass

    Specifies the password for the keystore.

    If an SSLConfig.properties file exists, an overwrite warning appears.

    A confirmation message confirms the keystore was configured and displays the directory of the keystore you created. The SSLConfig.properties file is generated.
