Using the Flex Data Service Assembler

To enable SSL, you do the following:

■

Create the keystore

■

Configure Flex

■

Enable SSL in the ColdFusion MX Administrator

To create the keystore:

1.

Generate the SSL server (ColdFusion) keystore file by using the keytool utility, with a 
command similar to the following:

keytool -genkey -v -alias FlexAssembler -dname "cn=FlexAssembler" -

keystore cf.keystore -keypass mypassword -storepass mypassword

The following table describes the parameters of the keytool utility that you use:

Next, you place the certificate you created in the file that the JVM uses to decide what 
certificates to trust.  The file in which you put the certificate, (usually named cacerts), is 
located in the JRE, under the lib/security folder. 

To configure Flex:

1.

Export the keystore to a certificate by using the keytool utility, with a command similar to 
the following:

keytool -export -v -alias FlexAssembler -keystore cf.keystore -rfc -file 

cf.cer

2.

Import the certificate into the JRE cacerts file for your server by using the keytool utility, 
with a command similar to the following:

keytool -import -v -alias FlexAssembler -file cf.cer -keystore 

C:\fds2\UninstallerData\jre\lib\security\cacerts
