Security

A keystore is required for secure HTTP communication (HTTPS) with the browser.

Note: This keystore is unrelated to the BaanLogin SSL keystores that are discussed in the previous chapter.

If LN UI is installed on the Tomcat web server, you can use the LN UI Administration Webapp to create and update this keystore. These are the supported public/private key pair characteristics:

Signature algorithm: SHA256withRSA
Key algorithm and length: RSA, 2048 bits

If the keystore must meet different demands, you can use, for example, these utility programs to manually create or update the keystore:

Keytool, bundled with the Java Runtime Environment
Portecle from http://portecle.sourceforge.net/

Note: If the keystore is created or updated using external programs, the LN UI Administration Webapp maybe cannot show the keystore's contents, or support keystore operations!
