A T B API Test Base

Configure API Test Base to be an SSL Client

    Sometimes API Test Base needs to connect to a service through SSL protected transport. For example, ACE test step connects to an integration node via ACE endpoint that uses SSL. In this case, we need to prepare a truststore for API Test Base and import the certificate from the integration node web console into the truststore.

    If you don’t already have a truststore, or you have a truststore but don’t have the certificate in it, run command like below to prepare the truststore.

    <Java_Home>/bin/keytool -importcert -file abc.cer -alias <certificate_alias> -keystore truststore.jks -storepass <truststore_password> -noprompt

    Here

    • abc.cer is the SSL certificate file (like that extracted from browser after opening the ACE integration node web console).
    • truststore.jks is the filename of the truststore. It will be created if not already existing.

    Copy the truststore file (here truststore.jks) to <ATB_DATA_DIR>. An app/config.yml file under the API Test Base installation directory contains corresponding settings (sslTrustStorePath, sslTrustStorePassword) for using the truststore.

    Note

    • API Test Base application needs to be restarted for truststore change.
    • HTTP or SOAP request in API Test Base trusts all SSL certificates, hence no need to configure SSL for them.
