Hey Dudes,

is it nessesary to call a certificate for a message broker with the alias tomcat or is this a name that you can choose freely?

Is this name referenced in some kind of way and how does the broker know which certificate to take if their are multiple ones within his keystore? If I understood it correctly you only tell the broker his keystore not his certificate. . .

While creating the Keystore file you can generate multiple self signed certificates with different alias names.
So while importing the keystore file into the Broker Cacerts you need to select that particular certificate and import it.

keytool -import -alias alias1 -file cert1.cer -keystore cacerts -keypass abcdefgh123
keytool -import -alias alias2 -file cert2.cer -keystore cacerts -keypass asdf1234
