I am trying to debug a message flow which uses the SoapRequest node.

The other end (web service provider) has sent me a certificate to use.

The other end is verifiying us (we are not verifiying them) with this cert.

Do I put this cert in the broker keystore or truststore?

Can someone explain the difference and which SoapRequest will use in this case?

Thanks

Thanks, what confuses me is that this IBM presentation suggests it is the truststore (see page 9).

The presentation sounds correct to me as when you issue the SOAP request, you are the client and need to verify the server certificate and truststores contain certificates for the signers that are trusted in the environment where the truststore is used.

Can the Keystore and the Truststore refer to the same JKS file?

OK, makes sense.

I assume that MQ and WMB can't share a keystore as they use different types of keystore?

The type of keystore has nothing to do with the contents of the keystore.

If you wish to assert the same logical identity from your Broker as you do from your queue manager, then you can put the same certificate in both keystores.

It is of questionable value to assert that your broker is the same logical entity as it's queue manager.

IBM documentation clearly describes all private and public key certificates goes to key store and CA certificates goes to truststore.

As per your requirement description it's definately goes under Key store
