I dont know alot about certification, Ive been ask to do some API usage, and I need to "attach certificate" with the request, which makes sence (I know what certificates are used for). How ever, they've added an example on their documentation. They wrote:
- We also provide on our website in the web service’s package our server’s certificate.
- You will need to create a keystore containing this certificate and add it in your application with the corresponding password.
They left a rough example on how its supposed to look like I assume.
keytool -import -alias xxx.web.com -file xxx.web.com.crt -keystore xxx.web.com.jks -storepass password.
How does that work, I assume I need to:
- Generate a new certificate using theirs
- Attach my needed password to it
- Ship API using newly generated certificate
I'm pretty sure I am missing some bits. I've tried to play around with it, but I am not sure what my end result and whats the process of it would be.
