Our network guy provided us a .cer file in order to install on our laptop running Windows XP with Eclipse and WebSphere. I have seen the following posts:
However I am unsure as to where/how to install the .cer file.
I have also seen the following post:
Digital Certificate: How to import .cer file in to .truststore file using?
Again I just don't know what the keystore is. Is it cacerts?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Yes. It is cacerts. You need to use keytool import command. Keystore option should have path to your cacert location. Here is example on keytool command http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/security/toolfilex/rstep1.html
Cacerts will be under java_home-jre-lib-security folder.
