Dear Jan,

Thanks for your comment.

While testing with R&D to validate this issue, we came against the fact that application.yml doesn't seem to work when using a PKCS12 keystore. It works well with the self-signed certificate.

The major issue I saw from the beginning was indeed an issue on how to import the private key and the CA certificate in once in the keystore.

For this I had to do some research and as customers were reporting the issue, I believe it was worth an article.

Anyway, we are working to update the documentation too so this will be available on docs soon too.

Congrats with your first community artice, Paul!

What the difference between the procedure you describe and what is documented in the SDL documentation? Your article is about CA authority signed while the procedure in the docs is self-signed. But there also are differences like .property vs .yaml configuration, and how the certificate is stored?

Nice, thanks for sharing, Paul! This makes setting up SSL much more tangible, especially if it's a "new" topic. And it's great seeing more "how to" guides in the community (again).
