5.1 Creating a Keystore and a Truststore

Create a certificate for the broker by using the keytool.

keytool -genkey -alias broker -keyalg RSA -keystore broker.ks

Export the broker's certificate to share with clients.

keytool -export -alias broker -keystore broker.ks -file broker_cert

Create a certificate/keystore for the client.

keytool -genkey -alias client -keyalg RSA -keystore client.ks

Create a truststore for the client and import the broker's certificate. This establishes that the client "trusts" the broker.

keytool -import -alias broker -keystore client.ts -file broker_cert

Export the client's certificate so it can be shared with broker:

keytool -export -alias client -keystore client.ks -file client_cert

Create a truststore for the broker, and import the client's certificate. This establishes that the broker "trusts" the client:

keytool -import -alias client -keystore broker.ts -file client_cert
