Can Pega be used as the certificate store mechanism or Tomcat or both ?

Hi Team,

Could someone please suggest the best practice and explain if we have to use PEGA as the certificate store mechanism or Tomcat or both.

Thank you.

I would lean towards using Pega as the certificate store for the following reasons:

1. When you add/update certificates, server restart is not required.

2. Pega developers can manage the certificates as opposed to being dependent on the folks handling app server.

I see you tagged pega platform 7.3.1 so I'm assuming you are using pega 7.3.1. The only downside I see is if you have a large number of connectors, you will have to associate each connector with the keystore instance that contains your certificates. With Pega 8.3, this is no longer a requirement since there is the concept of platform truststore.
