<p>The keystore located in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;workspace&gt;/certificates/sslkeystore.jks</span></code> is required to connect to the Corda network securely.
In development mode (when <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">devMode</span> <span class="pre">=</span> <span class="pre">true</span></code>, see <a class="reference internal" href="corda-configuration-file.html"><span class="doc">Node configuration</span></a> for more information) a pre-configured keystore will be used if the keystore does not exist.
This is to ensure developers can get the nodes working as quickly as possible.</p>
<p>However this is not secure for the real network. This documentation will explain the procedure of obtaining a signed certificate for TestNet.</p>
<div class="admonition warning">
<p class="first admonition-title">Warning</p>
<p class="last">The TestNet has not been setup yet as of Milestone 6 release. You will not be able to connect to the certificate signing server.</p>

<div class="section" id="certificate-signing-request-utility">
<h2>Certificate signing request utility<a class="headerlink" href="#certificate-signing-request-utility" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>The utility creates certificate signing request based on node information obtained from the node configuration.
The following information from the node configuration file is needed to generate a certificate signing request.</p>
<table class="docutils field-list" frame="void" rules="none">
<col class="field-name" />
<col class="field-body" />
<tbody valign="top">

<tr class="field-even field"><td>&nbsp;</td><td class="field-body">Certificate signing server URL.

</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>A new pair of private and public keys will be generated by the utility and will be used to create the request.</p>
<p>The utility will submit the request to the network permissioning server and poll for a result periodically to retrieve the certificates.
Once the request has been approved and the certificates downloaded from the server, the utility will create the key store and trust store using the certificates and the generated private key.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">You can exit the utility at anytime if the approval process is taking longer then expected. The request process will resume on restart.</p>
</div>
<p>This process only needs to be done once when the node connects to the network for the first time, or when the certificate expires.</p>
