Create the keystore
❖
To generate the SSL server (ColdFusion) keystore file, use 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:
Place the certificate you created in the file that the JVM uses to determine what certificates to trust. The file in which
you place the certificate (usually named cacerts), is located in the JRE, in the lib/security folder.
Configure Flex
1
To export the keystore to a certificate, use the keytool utility, with a command similar to the following:
keytool -export -v -alias FlexAssembler -keystore cf.keystore -rfc -file cf.cer
2
To import the certificate into the JRE cacerts file for your server, use 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
Enable SSL in the ColdFusion Administrator

Select Data & Services > Flex Integration, and specify the keystore file in the Full Path To Keystore box.
