Create a keystore to store certificates for use with HTTPS connections

You must create the webserver.keystore file to store the certificates that permit the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service to accept HTTPS connections from push applications. Only one keystore can exist. You create the keystore by specifying a password for the keystore in the BES10 Configuration Tool. When you create the keystore, a self-signed certificate is generated and stored in the webserver.keystore file. The webserver.keystore file is created in <drive>:\Program Files (x86)\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10\MDS\webserver.
  1. On the computer that hosts the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service, open the BES10 Configuration Tool.
    If a Windows message appears and requests permission to make changes to the computer, click Yes.
  2. On the BlackBerry MDS tab, specify the information for your organization and type and confirm a new password for the keystore file.
  3. Click Apply.
  4. If you receive a prompt to replace the existing keystore file, click Yes.
  5. Click OK.
