Using SSL server certificate with only public key
Hi,
I am new to SoapUI and I want to create a SOAP request with two different certificates:
- private certificate (file .pfx) for signing,
- SSL server certificate (.cer) with public key, used for data encryption.
With the first one I have no issues, I import it in Keystores and use it for signing parts of the message. However, I cannot import SSL server certificate to Keystores since it has no password - I get the following error:
Private key missing (bad password?)
How to use public certificate with SoapUI? Also, I had to install self-signed Certification authority to my computer to make the private certificate (used for signing) work with my C# program. Should I do anything with this regard in SoapUI also?
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi francosy
Although SoapUI doesn't natively support client-side data encryption using a public certificate, there are other possibilities.
One approach is to trust the server certificate by installing the public certificate (.cer) as a trusted root certificate on your system. This configures SoapUI to recognize and trust the server's certificate when establishing a secure connection, effectively bypassing the need to import the certificate into SoapUI's keystores
Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards
