You can use a Java KeyStore keystore to store encryption keys.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: admin

You must use the Java 1.8 version of the keytool utility. A copy of the utility can
be found in \<proxy install dir\>/java/jre/bin/keytool.

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

The Edge Encryption proxy ships
with the Java JCEKS KeyStore file named keystore.jceks in the
keystore directory. This keystore file contains the ServiceNow public key used to validate
encryption rules signed by ServiceNow.

## Prozedur

1. Set up the keystore properties.
   1. Change to the \<installation directory\>/conf/ directory.
   2. Open the edgeencryption.properties file.
   3. Enter the properties for the [Java KeyStore](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/11zZkc8NDA9UEYvX8O_edw "The edgeencryption.properties configuration file located in the <installation directory>/conf/ folder contains properties used to configure your environment.").

2. Save and close the edgeencryption.properties file.
