Generate a SSLConfig.Properties file for the Trusted Store

Part of the process of protecting the Claims WS service involves generating an SSLConfig.properties file for the trusted store that contains the root certificate. 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 -truststore full_path_to_your_trusted_store -truststorepass password_to_your_trusted_store

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:
   • (Windows) GenerateSSLConfig.Bat
   • (UNIX or Linux) GenerateSSLConfig.sh

   You specify the following parameters when you run the script:

   keystorepass

   Specify the password for the keystore you created.

   truststore

   Specify the full path to your trusted store.

   truststorepass

   Specify the password for your trusted store.

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

   The SSLConfig.properties file is generated.
