Earlier in the Adeptia Suite, you could not create any separate Truststores. Now you can create separate Keystores and Truststores. A keystore is collection of certificates and private keys. You can use a keystore with your security policies and web service consumer activities. Keystore stores your certificates and private keys that you can give to your client. Whereas, a Truststore stores all your trusted parties' certificates. Adeptia Suite also allows backward compatibility to support all you previously created keystores. However, the Adeptia Suite will treat all of your previous truststores as keystores.

You can create a keystore either manually or by uploading a keystore file. If you want to manually create a keystore then, you need to provide information for many fields. You can find the description about these fields in the table below.
